Produktbeschreibung

Loyal Gunners is a story of one province's artillery units between 1893 and 2012. It uniquely encapsulates the wider experience of Canadian militia gunners and their units into a single compelling narrative. As a result, it is a profoundly Canadian story: one of dedication and sacrifice in service of great guns and of Canada.
