I feel bad starting this without a picture contribution, but I wanted to do it before the idea escaped me. I've always been interested in the war trophies that I've seen around cenotaphs and places like Legion halls. I've never seen a comprehensive collection of pictures of these guns. Could you please share pics of your closest trophies?

I tried to start this exact thread a few years ago and got nothing! Let me see what I can find in my pics.
Tavistock , ON Legion
World War One German 250mm Minenwerfer
Cookestown, ON, Memorial Garden
German 7.58 cm minenwerfer
Not really trophies but interesting still.
I discovered this graveyard in my city(Kitchener, ON). After WW1 and WW2 there were several sites across Canada where German POWs who died while here are buried. They were all brought to one spot.
Included are two gravebmarkers made by surviving POWs while imprisoned. Just interesting so I thought Id share. There are about 180 names, I photographed them all, but wont post them all. If your curious about a name, PM me and Ill see if its there.
Quite the wood carver this soldier was.
