Interesting pennants. Looks like CO pennents for 30 Fd Regt (Ottawa), 1 RCA (Halifax) and 2 RCA (Montreal). The cut down shell casings must be the new (to me) reduced charge blanks used for salutes. I would be interested in seeing the whole collection. Will be barning it on Saturday.

I will have to check the local obits to see if any local Gunners have shuffled off this mortal coil...
