PPCLI Funeral Germany 1965
These pictures are of the funeral of Major GM Findlay CD of the PPCLI stationed at Fort MacLeod during May 1965.
He was killed in a traffic accident. Can anyone shed any light on the use of a Land Rover as a tractor for the 25 Pounder please? His grave is here http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/rememb...ves/details/36

Is it possible that the 25pdr and the Landrover were borrowed from the British Army for the event?
The funeral tray on the gun looks slightly different than the types I have seen here from Canadian service. |

Rob I am thinking both the gun and Land Rover were a pair for the funeral, your notes on the tray reinforce that.
