Description

A First World War 105mm leichte Feldhaubitzer (light field Howitzer) set on a concrete plinth. Plate on front reading ‘The Gun. Twyn y Garth. This First World War German field howitzer was obtained by Mrs Lionel Trafford from the War Office in 1920 and placed on Twyn y Garth as a Memorial to her brother and other local men who died in that War. By 1999 the gun was severely weathered but thanks to 6 Battalion A&GREME refurbished with the wheels being restored locally. It was replaced here on 7th October 2000 supported by a large happy crowd.’
