The dragons are great places to hide caches, but also places of
learning, respect, and rememberence. This one honors the soldiers
from the first World War.
World War I:
The Great War
Dragon 1 GC1B23V
Also, Please visit
"The Guns of Navarone" GC12CM4. This is a great cache gone
unfound for over a year.
Parents: Please teach your children both the history
and the respect they must have for such monuments. As a teacher,
each day that I walk in public, I see far too many people that lack
understanding about their world. As primary care givers help your
children to grow into wonderful people, and honorable citizens.
TIPS:
1. read the plates fixed to the
monument
2. Pretend you were manning the post, how
would you operate it? Look at handles, gears, wheels,
etc.!
3. Look for words, stamps, or other
markings (trust me, there are some!)
4. Look at the mechanics of the piece, how
did it work?
5. Use the above link for more on the
history....consider searching for a history of Mamaroneck soldiers
during the time period.
Thank you!
NOTE: The cache has reverted to a Traditional Cache...no
remaining second step,. Also, after several notes about the
howitzer's age, the memorial is infact a tribute to WWI.
