Radio special on account of Anzac Day approaching, and being the centenary of WWI;
They mentioned that the first shot fired during that war was to stop a German freighter trying to escape from Port Phillip Bay, in Victoria, Australia.
A team is hoping to recover the shell from the sand near the Heads. (It was a non-explosive warning shot.)
Thought you may like to add this to your knowledge base.
Cheers.
