One 25 Pdr gun, a 25 Pdr limber, and a CGT 1940 cab 11, in perfect condition.
We received many parts and accessories for 25 Pdr and CMP.
We also received his collection of miniature military toys, which is now housed at our museum at the Côte-des-Neiges armoury in Montréal.
Late Monsieur André Gibeault, was a great supporter of our mission to the veteran and to the Artillery.

Hi Gilles
I remember Andre telling me that he wanted you guys to have those. Andre was a great friend to many museums and not just in donating his collection but by imparting his knowledge. There wasn't a question I couldn't ask the man. He will be missed.
