As happy as a man can be with a Mills Bomb in his hand!



Taken last year when I walked the Kokoda Track. This collection of munitions were from the Japanese Mountain gun position above battle field at Eora Creek. There were several fierce battles here both on the Japanese advance to Port Morseby and their retreat back along the Track!

The stubby shells are from the Model 92 70mm gun (who knows it could even be from the same gun that blew my dad off Ioribaiwa Ridge!)


Cheers
