Timaru has a World War II site where two 6 inch Mark VII Wire BL naval guns were mounted. These were, I believe, Vickers weapons and their numbers were 1506, and 2095.
-----Over the last few years a friend and I have been researching this site and we would be keen to find out more information about where the guns came from and what happened to them after the war.
-----In February 1945 they were shipped back to Auckland but that seems to be where the trail ends. Presumably they had been formerly mounted on some warship and we are interested in finding out about this too.
-----Several years ago I started a free website about the area. If any of you are interested in having a look the website address is: www.angelfire.com/sc3/smithfield
-----Would you gentlemen have any thoughts about where information about these issues may be available. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Yours faithfully
