Wartime History
Abandoned in the Rabaul area.

Display
Recovered from Vazin Plantation area and displayed at the 'Yamamoto Bunker' in Rabaul town during the 1970s. Later, likely around the 1994 eruption, it was moved to the Kokopo Museum, where it is displayed to this day.

Brian Bennett recalls:
"Tank used to be in another paert of Rabaul but forget where now.
Do remember that the track gear on side to bunker (right side) was in fairly bad shape even back in 1979. I recall trying to get Rabaul tourist assoc' at the time to do something about getting the track gear fixed up and corrosion retarded."
