BIG ́CAPTURED GUN SHIFFED
-DE-LONDON. ——————
The gun captured at Harbonnieres by the 31st Battalion of the Austra- lian Imperial Force of August 8, 1918, has been shipped on board the steamer "Dongarra," together with two big guns for the agahip "Avstralia.”
The Harbonnieres gun is a 11.5 inch railway gün. Undoubtedly it is Australia's greatest trophy. It has a range of 20 miles, and weighs 185 tons. The undercarriage" is 72 ft. in 200 sheils against the Australians be tween May and Angust. Lieutenant G. Burrows and Sappers Strakan and Palmer went forward regardless of machine gun and rifle frè. raised steam on the locomotive, and brought he gun back. Subsequently it was exhibited in Paris, and was brought to Woolwich. The run will be landed at Newcastle (N. S. W.) by the Broken Hill Company, and will travel on its own bogies to Sydney. It is intended to be per manently placed in the gardens adjoining the Sydney railway station. The run was captured by Queens landers Captain G. H. Wilson, M.C., of Warrawee, Hill Street, Wynnum, was in command of the front line company at the time of its capture. In an interview, Captain Wilson stated that the railway trucks coupled to the waggon carrying the gun were carrying petrol, and a Br tish airman dived on the train, firing tracer bullets, which set fire to the petrol. The cavaly reached the gun. first, capturing the crew, after
which Captain Wilson's company came along and occupied the trenches, which were close to the railway line. The officer of the 8th Field Company of Engineers asked one of his mien who was an engine diver to man the locomotive. The tracks contain- ing the burning petrol, were uncomp led, and the engine. hauled the big gun Into Allied territory.
