Construction workers discovered pieces of Australian military history while developing the 2 SQN hangar site at RAAF Base Williamtown.
They found two six-inch howitzer artillery pieces and a twopound anti-tank gun. The two howitzers had serial plates identifying them as having been manufactured in 1918 [one by Vickers and the other by W.B. & Co] but it was believed they were buried in the 1940's or 50's.
One of the Howitzers has been restored and sits out front of 2 SQN
