"Shelldrake" is an informative and detailed synopsis of the
carefully preserved and restored guns and artillery on display in
Canada. The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery is represented by
a long and distinguished line of gunners with historical ties back
to the days before Canada's Confederation. The honour of defending
Canada while standing ready to support operations overseas in peace
and war continues to this day. In doing so, it is necessary to
remember that the weapons of war are an integral part of what keeps
this nation safe, although the examples that have been used to make
it so are few and far between. The descriptions of Canadian
artillery and the places of honour where they can be viewed
highlights the importance of the equipment 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. This guide book will show the
interested reader where to find examples of the historical guns
preserved in Canada, and perhaps serve as a window on how Canada's
military contribution to security in the world has evolved.
