Mother's name is Barbara?
Hi Karmen:
My mother's name is Barbara and I was born on Artillery Day (26 May) well actually she missed y a couple of hours (0230 hrs on 27 May) but it was still artillery day in Ottawa where my birth was registered! :) St Barbara has many websites: http://www.artillery.net/ is the Canadian artillery website and has all sorts of info about us Canukian Gunners. http://www.army.mod.uk/ra/gunnernet/saint_barbara.htm is the Royal Artillery page regarding Her. http://sill-www.army.mil/pao/pabarbar.htm is the US Field Artillery site about her. http://www.gunnies.asn.au/st_barbara.htm is the Aussie version. Have fun in your search! Our Gunner tie is red zigzags on a blue background reminding us of the lightening that is a crucial part of Her legend. Cheers and Ubique! Mike |
Hey Mike, thanks! I enjoyed finding out about St. Barbara and her connection to things military. Barbara would have loved being Candadian with all of our rights and freedoms, especially for females :smoker:
May lightening strike those who would destroy those rights and freedoms ... tonight I enjoyed my St. Barbara Day feast (great leftovers followed by homemade applepie) Nice name for your Mom. Nice Day to be born. Nice tie. ;) Karmen |

St Barbara
St Barbara is also the patron saint of Armourers. So to the men of Bluebell, I bid you Arte Et Marte
