Summary:
"
Loyal
Gunners
uniquely encapsulates the experience of Canadian militia
gunners
and their units into a single compelling narrative that centres on the
artillery
units of
New
Brunswick
. The story of those units is a profoundly Canadian story: one of dedication and sacrifice in service of great guns and of Canada. The
3rd
Field
Regiment
(The
Loyal
Company
), Royal Canadian
Artillery
, is Canada'
s
oldest
artillery
unit, dating to the founding of the
Loyal
Company
in Saint John in 1793. Since its centennial in
1893
,
3rd
Field--in various permutations of medium, coastal, and anti-aircraft
artillery
-- has formed the core of
New
Brunswick
's militia
artillery
, and it has endured into the twenty-first century as the last remaining
artillery
unit in the province. This book is the first modern assessment of the development of Canadian heavy
artillery
in the Great War, the first look at the development of
artillery
in general in both world wars, and the first exploration of the development and operational deployment of anti-tank
artillery
in the Second World War. It also tells a universal story of survival as it chronicles the fortunes of
New
Brunswick
militia units through the darkest days of the Cold War, when conventional armed forces were entirely out of favour. In 1950
New
Brunswick
had four and a half regiments of
artillery
; by 1970 it had one --
3rd
Field
.
Loyal
Gunners
traces the rise and fall of
artillery
batteries in
New
Brunswick
as the nature of modern war evolved. From the Great War to Afghanistan it provides the most comprehensive account to date of Canada'
s
gunners
."--Publisher.
