I have spent time on Mafia Island (taken by allied forces from the Germans and then used as base for air operations against the Konigsberg); travelled along the Rufiji and most recently paid my respects at Selous's grave at Beho Beho. Fresh rhino tracks marked the dust below the memorial plaque - most fitting as there are only thought to be sixteen left in the whole reserve. Towards the end of that trip, I was on Pemba Island in the Zanzibar archipelago. There I stayed at a hotel that has salvaged an interesting cannon from a local beach; it is in good condition, but they know nothing about its history. The cannon has distinctive markings and form (of which I took pictures) and so now I am looking for an expert to identify said cannon. All help will be gratefully appreciated. 140.
