It had been knocked out by shell-fire at the Battle of Cambrai (1917) and subsequently buried when used to fill a crater.[13] Badly damaged and corroded when rediscovered, Deborah has been stabilised and is now housed in a small museum at Flesquières, close to the graves of members of the crew.Dan Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460560553797895958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-43783837261896179012021-01-20T21:18:40.536-08:002021-01-20T21:18:40.536-08:00Is that the one that's in the National WWI Mus...Is that the one that's in the National WWI Museum here in Kansas City?
