Gun production in Canada
As you know Alex from the 2-part story in CONVOY Magazine issues #10 and #11, RIL in Regina produced 2pdr and quickly thereafter, the 6pdr AT guns.
The first part of the SIL story and 25pdr production in Canada appeared in issue #13. The plant had a somewhat disorganized setup due to French methods in a North American setting and when France capitulated, the French staff returned home fearing Nazi reprisals against their families. Chrysler Canada executives were called in to re-organize and turn the plant around which they did, resulting in a very efficient operation and successful and highly productive operation. Funny how things work out. Issue 9 has a fabulous photo of the LGA 25pdr on the cover (courtesy D. Lawrence) and issue 13 has a great photo of the 6pdr memorial (courtesy me) cheers Marc http://www.geocities.com/convoymagazine http://www.geocities.com/lga25ubique/index.html Canadian heritage military vehicle forum
