A digital copy of the Handbook for the 9pdr RML guns of 6 cwt and 8 cwt land service 1901 has been found and placed in our 2018 yearbook and on our reference page. Check it out! There may be some similarities to 105mm Howitzer C3 - B-GL-371-008FP-001. Now if I could only find an equipment handbook so that I could figure out what tools are missing.
Found another group photo! This one is from the smoker in Yakima in 1977. Can you find yourself in the picture?
The problem with a huge website like this is that I come across a series of photos that aren't on the page where they belong but I feel as if I've already uploaded them previously. Then again, maybe the problem is my failing memory and not the size of the website. Anyway, the following series of photos have been placed in the 1978 Ft Lewis page. Is that correct? Have I already placed them somewhere else?
Another mystery that the readership could help with. We have photos described as Soldiers' Play at Concert Party, Orpheum Theatre. No dates, no details. The BC Hussars appear to be on stage (and they were reroled in May 1939). The posters on the world mock Hitler (and war was not declared until 10 September 1939). The question is, "When were these pictures taken?" Have you got a copy of the programme at home in your collection? Check out the photos here.
More pictures are now on line from the assembly of the 9 Pounder RML. A special thanks to the crew at the RCA Museum for their great packing job and to Bombardier (ret) Eric Halstead, Gunner Mark Magtibay and Gunner Zeshan Syed. Check out the pictures here.
The 9 Pounder has been assembled. Check the pictures here!

The good news - there's a lot of pictures! The bad news - there not all identified. Your task is to check out the page I created here and see if you can help me with the puzzle!
