Inspecting defences.

Major Sherlock Brown and myself have recently returned from an inspection of defences in the Otago Region of New Zealand. Fortunately we found time to sample the local fare and whisky and catch up with fellow Fusiliers.


A pair of Krupps, the guns of course!

An awfully big gun. 62 pdr from the Dunedin St Clair defences

    The 62 pdr sure is a beast.

  2. A spiffing parade, sir! Lots of lovely guns too, although the 64 pounder could use a lick of paint.
