On the 4th of July 1918, an Australian-led offensive commenced around the village of le Hamel.

Such was its success that it led to being used as a model for future combined arms offensives.

During this battle, the 21st Battalion, 2nd Division captured a German 7.7cm Feldkanone 96. It was sent home as a war trophy and wasted away in a park in Ararat, Victoria.

After being rescued from being sent away for scrap metal, this rusty old piece has been acquired by the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum, where Al (the master craftsman of sheet metal) has begun restoring it.
