| This is one of the 10.5cm guns of the SMS Koenigsberg, a German WW1 cruiser that took refuge and was eventually scuttled in the Rufiji delta in what is now Tanzania. All 10 guns of her main armament were removed, put on frames and used with the German forces in East Africa (commanded by the legendary Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck) as field guns, being captured / destroyed at various points. Post WW1, this gun found its way to London; it was given to RNVR Hove by the IWM some time in the 1920s due lack of storage space. There are 3 other known survivors, in Kenya, Uganda, and South Africa: but this particular gun has not been seen since this photograph was taken. |
