Cannon in Canada, Province by Province Volume 5 [EPUB ebook] 

This fifth volume of Cannon in Canada is an informative and detailed

synopsis of the carefully preserved and restored guns and artillery on display in

the province of British Columbia. The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery is

represented by a long and distinguished line of gunners with historical ties back

to the days before Canada’s Confederation. The honour of defending Canada

while standing ready to support operations overseas in peace and war continues

to this day. It is necessary to remember that the weapons of war are an integral

part of what keeps this nation safe. The descriptions of Canadian artillery found

here, and the places of honour where they can be viewed highlight the importance

of this essential military hardware that brought our nation forward at key turning

points in history when our guns were in use as tools of war at home and overseas.
