depaor01 Posted 17 May , 2018 Share Posted 17 May , 2018 Imagine a non-Canadian uttering "I was like, 'Holy heck, eh?'" Impersonating a Canadian. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I would think the last two letters might be correct! Anyhow, very interesting, considering it happened about 4 km from where I live, and the fact I found out about it here (don't read the local news very often)!

2ndCMR Posted 18 May , 2018 Share Posted 18 May , 2018 Probably dug up on an old artillery range. The driving band appears to have been removed, presumably for scrap. Remotely possible someone dragged such a thing back from France, but it would have to be in the days of travel by ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
