Default Margy Feature on Tarakan Island

I think you will find that is a very nice shot of the 3.7 inch HAA operating on the Margy feature on Tarakan.

There are a number of images of it on the Aust War Memorial (AWM) website. In the Collections search window, put in '3.7' followed by 'Joyce' and nine images will come up for viewing. The gun was situated on the Margy feature, and shooting at the Japanese entrenched on the Joyce feature.

For more general views of 3.7 inch guns, leave 'Joyce' off the search. Result will include many shots of manufacturing the 3.7 inch at Ordnance Factory Maribyrnong (OFM).

Mike
