This fourth volume of Cannon in Canada is an informative and detailed synopsis of the carefully preserved and restored guns and artillery on display in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The traditions of artillery in North American are well represented by a long and distinguished line of gunners with historical ties back to the days before Newfoundlands entry into Canadas Confederation. The honour of defending Canada, while standing ready to support operations overseas in peace and war continues to this day. It is necessary to remember that the weapons of war are an integral part of what keeps this nation safe. The descriptions of artillery found here, and the places of honour where they can be viewed in Newfoundland and Labrador highlights the importance of this essential military hardware that brought our nation forward at key turning points in history when our guns were in use as tools of war at home and overseas.

About the Author
Index
By each gun a loaded brand, in a bold determined hand.
For both of my grandfathers, Unteroffizier Frederick Christensen Skaarup and Sergeant Walter Ray Estabrooks, two gunners who fought on opposite sides of the line during the First World War, and for all those members of the Canadian Armed Forces whose primary task at home and abroad has been and is to keep us safe.
Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery Logo.
During my service as a soldier and officer in the Canadian Forces, I was taught to use the combat arms radio call sign Sheldrake whenever the message traffic being relayed referred to artillery. This designation has been replaced with the call sign Golf. The armour elements were Ironsides, now Tango, hence the titles of the companion volumes to this series. For the interested reader, Acorn was my call sign as the Regimental and later Brigade Intelligence Officer.
Lines from a poem by T. Campbell, Battle of the Baltic, Francis T. Palgrave, ed. (18241897). The Golden Treasury. 1875.
