Melt-Down?
..."Two guns to melt down for Canadian Victoria Crosses."...
I don't understand the couple of comments about "melting down the guns for the VC's"...??? |

The guns after the Crimean War of 1854 were melted down and the metallic contents were used to fashion the VC, authorized by herself. The quoted reference implies that, if Canada should ever issue the VC, perhaps these two guns could be used. Perhaps a bit tongue in cheek? Regards...BTW, I think I've run out of ways to mangle your name. No further bi-products herewith.
