The Vs are all on-line. A smaller bunch than the Ws. Mind you, a bit of serious digging and I came up with some more W photos. Yearbook 1978 Additional photos have been added from our Yakima Exercise. World War One War Diaries 5th Canadian Siege Battery Apl 6th - During the morning we carried out a destructive shoot on Hostile Battery S53 at S18d 15.85 by aeroplane observation. Plane only stayed long enough to get us registered and then gave C I, so shoot was continued without observation, 200 Rounds being fired. We then checked error of day by firing 15 Rounds at Thelum Mill and then switched to a Machine gun emplacement at S15d 9.1, fired 65 Rounds observed by F.O.O. with very good results, no direct hits were observed but quantities of material were thrown up and emplacement considerably damaged. 31st Battery, 9th Brigade April 6th - Another rehearsal of our barrage for the VIMY RIDGE attack was put on this afternoon. All necessary adjustment between flanks of both Groups and battery barrages have now been made and the barrage is well placed and should be very successful. The enemy lightly retaliated while our barrage was in progress but ceased as soon as our barrage was over. 58th Battery, 14th Brigade
