David;

The following well give you an idea of what was used on Canada's Pacific coast: Army Headquarters (AHQ) Report No. 1 - Fixed Coast Artillery Defences on the Pacific Coast, dated 8 May 1944, located here: http://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/dhh-...qga/ahq001.pdf, which was compiled by the staff of the General Staff Historical Section, National Defence Headquarters, Ottawa.
