The Krupp Cannon languished in the open for many years visibly deteriorating at an accelerating rate. Its restoration was undertaken in 2006 by local firm Catford Engineering, and a protective shelter and interpretive display constructed to preserve this important artefact for years to come.
The Jamestown Krupp Cannon. This gun as one of many war trophies distributed to towns all around Australia after WW1. Many were displayed in the open in parks and the like, where they suffered the ravages of time and weather over the ensuing decades. The community in Jamestown in SA's mid north, had theirs restored and housed in a protective shelter and the is the result. Jamestown has a very proud history of involvement of its men particularly in the Light Horse before and after WW1.
The USS Peary, a Clemson Class destroyer of the US Navy, commissioned in 1920. It was sunk in Darwin harbour on 19 Feb 1942.
A Daichi 'Val' Dive Bomber. An approximate equivalent of the Junkers 87 Stuka made infamous in the 1940 Blitzkrieg, the Val enjoyed early success in the Pacific war until they encountered modern fighter aircraft.
A Japanese Mitsubishi G3M 'Nell' Medium level, land-based twin-engine bomber and torpedo bomber used by the Japanese Naval Air Service in WW2. Nells took part in many of the raid in the early phases of the Pacific War including the sinking of the Prince of Wales and Repulse, the battle for Singapore and the bombing of Darwin. However they were poorly armoured and carried little defensive armament and quickly became increasingly vulnerable to higher performance Allied aircraft and anti aircraft defences.

Nieppe, France. 18 April 1918. A Company Headquarters of the 7th Battalion, established in an old shooting box in the Forest of Neippe, in Northern France. A week earlier on the arrival of the 1st Division at Hazebrouck from the Somme, the Germans were already commencing to penetrate the Forest of Nieppe immediately east of the town. The 7th Battalion, with some of the 1st Pioneer Battalion and a company of machine gunners, pushed through Nieppe Forest, north of La Motte Chateau, and dug in on the north-eastern edge, in touch with the British rearguards. The Australian line, when completed, ran down from Strazeele to the Wood, where it linked up with the British Guards and the 29th Division. The Germans attacked in force on the 14th, but were repulsed; they renewed the attack in the evening, but failed. They never attacked again on these positions.
