"Javelin Gunner" Memorial Sculpture

This sculpture, “BLOWPIPE GUNNER” 1984 “JAVELIN GUNNER” 1993 depicts a member of the Artillery’s Low Level Air Defence specialty, holding a shoulder-fired, anti-aircraft missile. In its original version, the weapon held was called “BLOWPIPE”. When the “BLOWPIPE” missile became obsolete, the army replaced it with the newer version called “JAVELIN”. This sculpture was unveiled in March 2013 by the Royal Military College of Canada, and is dedicated to current and past members of the Canadian Artillery.
