I must admit, though, the paintings were interesting in their own right and were sourced from the Beaverbrook Collection and were the originals. One painting (I should mention it was the only one featuring a CMP) that caught my eye was titled "Convoy through Wales". It featured a 15cwt MMG (Vickers section) vehicle of the Toronto Scottish Regiment. Now, the question that immediately struck me is: Is this Vickers gun shown out of proportion to the crew and vehicle, or were larger variants of the Vickers (0.5in Naval?) ever fitted to vehicles as AA protection?
