In a national sense, Krupp Number Four is 'Our Gun'. It is New Zealand's only 19th century Krupp, our only black powder Krupp and of course, our oldest Krupp. It is also our only surviving Boer War artillery gun and our first artillery gun trophy ' in other words, it is an icon and a national military treasure. The story of Krupp Number Four is a good deal more than a story about a gun. It is a story about people and events in far-off Africa that had a profound influence on our political and military history. At the beginning of the 20th century, these events were at the forefront of public consciousness, just as the Vietnam War was in the sixties and the Iraq War was in the ninety's. It is a story that is not without drama, and hope, success, defeat and loss are all a part of it.
