Directory of Allocated War Trophies - WW1

Following World War I weapons captured from German, Austria/Hungary and Turkish forces were distributed amongst the allied nations as reminders of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers involved. In Australia Committees were set up in each state to manage the distribution. Some were retained for what would become the Australian War Memorial, others distributed to Army units to which the guns capture was linked and others to communities and schools. The type and size of the weapon allotted depended on the size of the town and conditions for allocation varied between States. Generally the community accepted responsibility to display the trophy, pay the cost of its transportation, arrange a ceremony to unveil the trophy and accept responsibility for its maintenance. This document is a list of the war trophy guns distributed throughout Australia in the 1920s and has been compiled from cards held by the Australian War Memorial. It identifies the nation wide listing, on a State by State, Territories & Overseas, Army and Australian War Memorial basis, of all artillery pieces allocated as war trophies from World War 1.

Distribution of Obsolete Smooth Bore Guns

Distribution of Obsolete Smooth Bore Guns. Following the review in 1901 of guns held within each of the old Colonies a number of smooth bore guns were identified as being obsolete and it was agreed they should be disposed of by offering them to interested communities and organisations. The gun would be provided at no cost but applicants would be responsible for the cost of transportation and display of the guns. This list has been compiled from the letters contained in National Archives of Australia B168 1902/1344 file. The file contains some 360 pages. Unfortunately the file is not complete. It appears that the allocation of some guns did not proceed. In Western Australia no guns were allotted as the only two available were considered too heavy to be moved but advice is given a number of field guns were to become available in the near future.

To view the distribution of obsolete smooth bore guns for the various States and Territories use the links below:

a.	Queensland
b.	New South Wales
c.	Australian Capitol Territory
d.	Victoria
e.	Tasmania
f.	South Australia
g.	Western Australia
h.	Northern Territory
