Hi Gregory;

I won't mention the author's name or the title of his book, but I've always found him to be 'dead-on' with facts in the past, so I was a bit surprised this morning when I read about how during the pre-TOTALIZE R.C.A.S.C. dumping program of artillery ammunition, that rounds of 105mm were placed behind the gun positions of the 2nd Divisional Artillery, R.C.A. (4th, 5th and 6th Field Regiments, R.C.A.) :

I wonder how the gun crews managed to fire 105mm shells from their 25pdrs....

I guess the author in question had a brain fart and us Canadians being from North America, I guess he figured we were equipped with 105mm How., like the Americans....... :

Military History, don't ya just love it..........

Cheers
