A postcard I found recently which is a little different from the normal views.
I wonder if it was an artistic image for the postcard or were the guns really there?
Here is the memorial now:

Have any of our members visited this fine memorial?

Hello Paul,
Looking at your link, I would say the guns were certainly there at the original location, I wonder where they might be now.
Interesting to see a handful of members of the SAMIF on it too.
