Happy Saint Barbara's Day

[Gunner]

Hi Karmen:

My mother's name is Barbara and I was born on Artillery Day (26 May) well actually she missed y a couple of hours (0230 hrs on 27 May) but it was still artillery day in Ottawa where my birth was registered!

St Barbara has many websites:

http://www.artillery.net/ is the Canadian artillery website and has all sorts of info about us Canukian Gunners.

http://www.army.mod.uk/ra/gunnernet/saint_barbara.htm is the Royal Artillery page regarding Her.

http://sill-www.army.mil/pao/pabarbar.htm is the US Field Artillery site about her.

http://www.gunnies.asn.au/st_barbara.htm is the Aussie version.

Have fun in your search!

Our Gunner tie is red zigzags on a blue background reminding us of the lightening that is a crucial part of Her legend.

Cheers and Ubique! Mike
