RCHA - 3rd Regt G Bty firing 1959-60 105mm

Early C1 photos are welcome, especially if you have any from Shilo. My gun is made up of parts from carriage Cdn5 and Cdn6. By the 60s, the number was painted on the trails just back from the tires. I would love to find a photo of either of these guns, especially to try and locate it's service history. Unfortunately, those records no longer exist with the LCMM.



At the museum have a very early photo of a 105. The photo is actually clear enough to see that it is one of the 36 US built guns brought in to service prior to Sorel building the Cdn model.

This photo is from the book " The World's Armies" published in 1979. The photo predates the book by some years and is credited to the Canadian Armed Forces.

The bush dress would seem to signify pre-65.

The photo has the same thing I get from most C1 photos: lack of detail due to people standing in the way. I checked with the local mlitia artillery museum, and every photo they had of guns were blocked.

Here is a CF photograph from Germany in 1960.
