Brian Wolfe Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hello Everyone,Here is another artillery piece, this time a British 105mm Howitzer, that sits out side at the Canadian Military Heritage Museum in Brantford, Ontario. It is showing some decay from being outside and there are no funds to restore and/or preserve it. I wonder how my wife would feel if it just "followed me home" one day? Too bad it's not for sale.Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Wolfe Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) Here's a view of the business end.Note the decay on the section below the barrel. What a shame that this artifact is rotting away. Brian Edited August 30, 2008 by Brian Wolfe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Wolfe Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Here's a photo of the breach area. I was taking this photo "into" the sun so it is not as good as I would like.CheersBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Wolfe Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 I'm adding this photo to this post even though it is a WW I German 106mm howitzer and not British because I though it would be a good example of "the other side's" artillery piece of nearly the same calibre.Too bad the sign on the piece is not clearer but I've tried several methods of magnification with limited results. The sign on the trench howitzer is impossible to read.Anyway I like the photo and here it is.RegardsBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Wolfe Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 They were ....towable.... u-hem.... Chris,DON'T TELL ME THAT!!!!! Actually this is my wife's fear ever since I visited our local museum and found out they have more artillery pieces than they have funds to restore and room to display. Next stop? The Auto Supply store for a trailer hitch! CheersBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
