This WWI German 100mm Krupp Field Gun was used on the Western Front and was part of the shipment with the Trench Mortars. This was one of two guns displayed outside the Old Legislature building. It has been restored many times and is probably one of the few in existence.
Ce canon de campagne Krupp de 100 mm est allemand et date de la Première Guerre Mondiale. C'était utilisé sur le front occidental et faisait partie du chargement envoyé ici avec les crapouillors. C'était l'un des deux canons exposés devant l'ancien bâtiment de législature. Il a été restauré plusieurs fois et il est probablement rare.
The Krupp Field Gun rests in front of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 56 Pleasantville on The Boulevard. Visitors may wish to park at The Trail of the Caribou Memorial Park.
