Around the globe, remnants of World War II are still being discovered, and New Zealand is no exception.
A 1942 25-pounder field gun - commonly used by the British during the war - has been found in a Greytown paddock where it's been gathering rust for about 16 years.
Paul Weldrand, national co-ordinator for Group Op Ubique, who has been charged with refurbishing the weapon talks to Wallace about the discovery.
