Gun captured by Australians near Amiens WW1

Gun captured by Australians near Amiens WW1

            On reverse: "The gun captured by the Australians near Amiens which M. Clemenceau had sent to Paris."
M. Clemenceau was the French Prime Minister during WW1.
Information and picture in comment below by Lins Oz:
The Amiens gun barrel weighs 45 tons (40,824 kilograms) and has a calibre measurement of 28 centimetres (11.15 inches). Built in 1904 by Friedrick Krupp, it was originally a German naval gun, until it was modified to be used as a railway gun during the war. The "Amiens gun" was later exhibited in Paris before it was sent to England for transport to Australia as a war trophy. While the gun's carriage was eventually destroyed, the barrel remains intact, and is on display outdoors at the Australian War Memorial.
