In The Gallery

 I begin where I left off yesterday, with one more look at Walter Allward's extraordinary plaster cast versions for his work on the Vimy Memorial.

The next space is the Lebreton Gallery, home to a multitude of military vehicles and equipment from around the world and multiple eras. We begin with the Nyala Armoured Personnel Carrier, used in the Afghan War

Here we have the F15A Wireless Truck, a mobile communication center of the Second World War.

Side by side, two Canadian vehicles. The AA7 Cargo Carrier was designed for winter conditions and Arctic travel. The Water Weasel at right originates from the Second World War.

This is the M113 Combat Engineering Vehicle.

A mobile office in a trailer- this particular one was used by Canadian Lieutenant-General Harry Crerar during the Second World War.

And here we have the staff car of Field Marshal Sir Harold Alexander during campaigns in North Africa and Italy. After the war, he would be the governor-general of Canada.
