Yearbook Update 1940

60 Pounder Battery in 1940
The Regimental Museum has digitized some old films. This is possibly 5th Medium Bty of 15th (Vancouver) Coast Brigade RCA, training in 1940. The film may be reversed as evidenced by the "D" on the vehicle front and the figures on the backs of the gun numbers. The location is unknown.
Check out the video and see if you can identify some of the missing info!
