Amiens rail gun







Captured by the AIF from the Germans in WW1 as a war trophy, the barrel is now on display at the War Memorial in Canberra.

Pictured here with the gun turret from HMAS Brisbane in the background.



Not sure why they scrapped the carriage part, that would have been awesome to see today.
