(De C Clelland) This Belgian howitzer is one of the most historically significant in Australia. During the night of July 22-23 1916 Australian troops attacked German positions around the village of Pozieres. Over the next 2 weeks of the battle Australian troops suffered more than 16,000 casualties. In the early advance into Pozieres, 3 German howitzers which had been damaged by the initial barrage were found - these howitzers were 15cm ex-Belgian Krupp/FRC 15cm. The 3 damaged howitzers were returned to Australia after WW1 but only one survives now at the 9th Battalion Museum, Enoggera, Qld.
