In Dominion Square here in Montreal,adjacent to our War Memorial,& just in front of John A.McDonald's statue are two captured cannons which were presented to the city by the regiment of our first Canadian born recipient of the Victoria Cross(in the Crimea,will post later),having done Garrison duty here before embarking to the Crimea.Sooo,if they ever need more metal for making the cross,there are two guns here on exhibit available for the task
