Un canon M1A1
[FR] Bien qu’il revête une importance symbolique pour le rôle essentiel d’Arvida à l’effort de guerre, ce canon n’a probablement pas été utilisé pour défendre Arvida durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il s’agit d’un canon lourd à haute altitude de 3,5 pouces de fabrication américaine.Ceux déployés dans la région étaient plutôt des canons lourds de 3,7 pouces de fabrication britannique ou suédoise ou encore des Bofors de 40 mm. Deux hypothèses sont envisageables ; il s’agit peut-être d’un modèle de canon différent utilisé par l’artillerie de campagne, ou plus probablement d’un surplus donné par le gouvernement à la Légion afin d’ornementer son terrain, comme il a été fait un peu partout au Canada..
Military grd equipment Cannon M1A1
[EN] Although symbolically important to Arvida's pivotal role in the war effort, this cannon was unlikely to be used to defend Arvida during World War II. It was an American-made 3.5-inch heavy high-altitude gun, and those deployed in the region were either British or Swedish-made 3.7-inch heavy guns or 40mm Bofors. Two hypotheses are possible; this may be a different gun model used by field artillery, or more likely a surplus given by the government to the Legion to adorn its terrain, as it was done a bit across Canada.
