Description: German WWI U-boat 105mm deck gun, from UB-91. Given to Chepstow by King George V after WWI in recognition of the bravery of William Charles Williams RN VC at Gallipoli in 1915. The submarine surrendered in November 1918 at Harwich and was taken around the Welsh ports of Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Port Talbot and towed to Pembroke Dock, eventually being broke-up in Briton Ferry in 1922.
