Filming of the Anzacs TV Series

The battery was used as part of the filming of the television series, the 1985 Anzacs miniseries. The gin were dressed up to look like 25 Pdr guns with wooden wheels, hessian and cart cases. The whole evenings filming (thus the grainy photos) resulted in about 5 seconds of footage.
