Two more walkarounds:

A leichter Minenwerfer at the War Memorial Boonah, Queensland. This one has been "conserved" with many coats of paint. There's so much paint slathered over the mortar I couldn't discern the serial numbers. It's missing a fair number of small fittings so it isn't as complete as the Warwick one. www.ammsbrisbane.com/reference/lMW_2.html.

A Feldkanone 96 n.A - same location. This is a bit of an oddball - the barrel serial is 3388 with build date 1906. The carriage is stamped 1915 so I'd guess it's a recycled gun from damaged guns. The wheels look as if they've come off an old wagon or similar - as far as I'm aware FK 96s never used wooden wheel hubs - the wheel diameter is too small for an FK 96. There are many missing bits and the gun is in real trouble with corrosion inside the trail box section. www.ammsbrisbane.com/reference/FK96_3.html.

Regards,

Charlie
