I am glad the German SS Emden was saved and I believe the War Memorial in Canberra would be a perfect place for WW1 artefacts like this. Parents could then take their children in a planned way, if they wanted.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34645388.post-49030870789767337672013-05-07T13:38:51.975+10:002013-05-07T13:38:51.975+10:00That's a pretty impressive monument!That's a pretty impressive monument!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07094543520943386032noreply@blogger.com
