Beschreibung:

STOKES GUN, early 20th century WWI interest, a commemorative cast iron brick form plaque, 21cm square The Stokes trench mortar was developed by Sir Wilfred Scott-Stokes, who was the managing director of mechanical engineering firm, Ransomes &, Rapier of Ipswich. Although Stokes did not have a military background, he quickly grasped the need for a 'portable gun' soon after the war erupted in Europe. Stokes correctly reasoned that such a weapon would be valuable for reducing the deadly, German machine-gun nests that were beginning to wreak havoc on the Western Front. This plaque was retrieved after the Ransomes & Rapier factory was demolished.
