Hi,
Anyone ever in Beggars Bush Barracks in Dublin? It has been transformed and handed over to one of the other depts. Outside is (according to my dad) inverted Russian cannons linked by chains. Apparently these Cannons were captured from the Russians during the Crimean war. Is this true? Does anyone know any more about this? Should they be dug up and refurbished and perhaps presented to the Russians/Ukranians as a diplomatic courtesy?
Apparently one of our old Churchill tanks was buried in the Glen, Dug up and then refurbished and presented to the British Army? Is this true?
