Ottawa Strong
 

I visited the National War Memorial this afternoon, it was very moving to see all of the tributes that have been left on the site.

Funeral of a hero
 

This is a very dignified use of an original FAT, limber and gun .

Military vehicule collectors have an important role to play in these somber circumstances.

It makes it all worthwhile when i see this.

Thanks for the very touching picture my friend.

:remember:remember:remember

We shall remember him.

Very Touching
 

Hello Darrell

Thank you for sharing that picture and the link a very touching and respectful ceremony for Cpl. Nathan Cirillo.

Respectfully Phil

I was up in CFB Borden today and the Funeral Gun was not there , I found out where it was when I got home, outstanding job 7 Tor RCA , outstanding job Limber Gunners !

We have one of those funeral guns here in Shilo that still gets used for funerals which happen here. As well, we have a spare conversion kit for converting a 25 pdr to a casket carrier, consisting of the upper tray and a cut down front shield. I found that kit years ago sunk in the mud at the old RCHA dustbowl.

Lots of history evident on that parade.

Gun carriage
 

I was wondering whose tractor, limber and gun were used. Thanks.

Can anyone name the members of the crew of the vehicle and their positions please?

The gun tractor is owned and operated operated by the Limber Gunners Association out of Toronto. They can be reached through their webpages here: http://7tor.ca/limber-gunners/
