Hi all Does anyone know when the guns were removed from the Penrith and St Marys War Memorials? The Penrith rotunda was demolished sometime between 11 Nov 1972 (Remembrance Day) and Anzac Day 1973. Were the guns still here at that time? The St Marys guns were removed sometime between Jan 1960 and 1981. Does anyone have photos of the guns at either of these memorials? If you can answer yes to any of the above questions, you are a treasure and can assist greatly in filling in some of the blanks. Looking forward to hearing from any one on this matter Best wishes Jan

In regards to Jan's question... I wonder if the removal of the guns was done by council and if so, is there access to council records which may describe the removal of the guns? What council records are generally available for public access?
