'ij DEADLY NEW CANADIAN WEAPON REVEALED Long on the seciet list, a powerful new weapon, the "Sexton," a 25-ponder full- tracked, self-propelled mount, has been revealed to the world by Munitions Minister C. D. Howe. Designed by Canadians and built only in this country, it has already been made in sufficient quantities to supply the Canadian Army, and is now being made for the British Ar- my. A modification of the Can- adian-designed Ram tank, the 'Sexton", a 25-pounder full- France. The gun for the new mount is virtually the same as the 25-pounder which stopped Rommel at El Alamein. It is shown being installed into the mount in the lower photo, while above a line of the completed mounts lumbers out to the test ranges. PRIMING FOR HUN RiUNION IN FRANCE PALS This 4CC0-pound blockbuster has company as it hurtles earthwards, in the form of a smaller bomb, caught by RAF camera during re- cent attaclt on Luftwaffe equipment depot at St. Cyr, France. FAMOUS EMBLEMS Fondest hopes are realized as a happy mother welcomes her soldier son back to his home in Alencon. The soldier, serving in the French Army, helped to liberate the tc^wn from Nazi rulers. AGE DOESN'T MEAN A THING TO CUPID Love has no age limits, as far as Robert Leedham, 84-year-olcl N;* York City barge captain, and Mrs. Johanna Appel, 62, are cone::.-.::;:. After eight-year courtship, they decided to take the plunge, are â- hown at City Hall where they applied for marrigae license. She's a landlady, and he's her star boarder. Here are two emblems worn by iome soldiers of the Canadian Army Overseas, which World War H has produced and made famous.. Be- low is pictured the shoulder sleeve insignia worn by personnel attach- ed to SHAEP â€" Supreme Head- quarters Allied Expeditionary Force â€" in other words General Eisenhower's staff. The field is black with red flames rising from a white sword, and a rainbow which includes all colors of which nation- al flags of the Allies are composed tops the shield. At top is the in- signia of the famous British Eighth Army â€" a gold or yellow Crusad- er's cross on a white shield. Can- ad^-ins fighting with the 8th wear th^s insignia. NAZIS UP TO DE^^Y TRICKS Hand grenades come in handy when clearing isolated pockets of enemy resistence and here is GSM W. G. Vassie, Kitchener, priming grenades before a Canadian operation south of Caen. ♦CAMERA' ACTION L-eut. John Hodgson (Big Jack) Smith, former Tornoto newspaper photographer, who has served with the Canadian Army Film and Photo Units in the campaigns in Sicily and Italy, shown as he swung into action with his Army camera. A si.x-foot, four-inch giant, Smith served on the staffs of the Toronto Evening Telegram and the Toronto Globe and Mail be- fore joining the Army's Public Re- lations branch. These photos show two of the tricky new mines Germans are using in Italy. Two-part mine pictured above is anti-personnel weapon. Wooden peg is driven into ground, mine is placed on it, above ground, and cord tied between two mines. When, trip cord is disturbed, it pulls the pins and both mines explode si- multaneausly. Other two pic tures show a new anti-tank mine, also used against other vehicles. Its bottle-shaped shell has open bottom, in which there is the electro-magnet seen in picture at right. This enables mines to adhere to any steel part. In photo below, an Allied sol- dier demonstrates, on Army tank tread, how the mine Is used. TRACTOR TOGGED OUT FOR WINTER Model M-7 snow tractor, above, designed for use by the armed forces in Arctic areas, is heavily insulated against cold, has six for- ward and two reverse speeds ranging from four to 41 m.p.h. Coupled with a snow trailer, the M-17 is used for rescuing do^wned flyers and carrying supplies. PINCERS POSSIBILITY Anticipating Allied capture and consolidation of French Mediterranean ports, armchair strategists see interesting possibilities of a surprise pincers movement, as diagrammed on map above, that might spell quick doom for Germans in northern Italy. Left arm of pincers could thrust eastward through Alpine passes on to broad plains above Po river; right arm would require amphibious invasion on east coast of Adriatic. Success of movement would trap Nazis in northern Italy, force their surrender or flight through Brenner Pass which is at mercy of Allied bombers. â- fH-iif
