World War I in Collingwood
World War I Field Gun
Do you remember the gun which used to be in the Darling Gardens until a few years ago? Have you been wondering what became of it? It has now been restored and installed at the Barkly Gardens war memorial site in Richmond and was ‘unveiled’ at the Remembrance Day ceremony on 11 November 2019. Whether you think it should have stayed in Clifton Hill, been melted down for scrap metal, or installed in Richmond, you will probably find the background story of interest.
