Russian Cannon Maidstone

This Russian gun is a trophy from the Crimean War.

"Remembrance Square
'Lest We Forget'
I have many times asked myself
whether there can be more potent
advocates of peace on earth
through years to come than this
massive multitude of silent
witnesses to the desolation of war
George V."

"This cannon captured at Sebastopol was presented to Maidstone by Lord Panmure, Secretary of War, George Wickham Mayor 1958"
