What an awesome museum and what an amazing collection! Could you tell if he Renault FT17 was in original paint? I also have to say that it truly saddens me when I see the true horror of war brought home, and the several medical displays in the museum are no exception.

Thank you very much for sharing!!!

Excellent, Will.

There's one gun in the cabinet with all the 'rifles' with a very fat barrel...What's that particular weapon ?
A grenade launcher ?....A weapon that fired shrapnel ?

I would have thought that the Lewis gun was the second most likely gun Phil would recognise :-/

The Bren being the first ;)
