This is a mobile mine, a weapon developed by the Germans during the Second World War, called Goliath.
Here we have the staff car of Field Marshal Harold Alexander, who served in North Africa and Italy, and after the war would be a governor-general in Canada.
Walking through the Lebreton Gallery is a photographer's dream.
These two large plaques once stood in the flagship store of the Eatons retail chain, commemorating company workers who died in both of the world wars. After that chain came to an end, the plaques came here.
The Voodoo fighter overhead dominates this space.
Here we have what looks like a tank, but isn't. This is a self propelled Howitzer.
The two tanks in the foreground are Leopards, contemporary era tanks of the Canadian military and other NATO forces. I've been in a Leopard before.
Multiple tanks from multiple nations.
I headed to the ramp out and out of the gallery for my departure. Several large works of art hang here. This is The Taking Of Vimy Ridge, Easter Monday 1917, by Richard Jack, depicting the Canadian victory at that place. We'll conclude this series tomorrow.
Never seen a mobile mine before.
