Have you registered yet? On the way to Kingston stopped in at Crysler's Farm. Great story from the War of 1812.     The latest acquisition for our military museum has just arrived in B.C. The C1 155mm Howitzer is a Canadianized version of the American M114 155mm Howitzer which was first produced in 1942. The Canadian version was built by Sorel Industries and was issued to several Reserve Artillery units including the 85th Battery in Ladner. Like our 18 pounder, we have some work to do on tire replacement. Thanks to Ian Newby and the Western Museum of the Armed Forces for his assistance in the transportation process.     The 18 Pounder has new tires! Unfortunate delays with COVID and a long delivery time for both tires and inner tubes delayed the project. Thanks to some great work from some dedicated individuals and some valued donations, the project is continuing to move ahead.   |
