Canadian M1113

Photos by Richard Briggs

                                Here are some Canadian M113 variants...real ones that is.  I shot these in
                                Quebec when I lived there  The ones on the train cars were being returned
                                from 4th CMBG and were photographed at CFB Valcartier, while the white UN
                                Lynx was shot at CFB Longpoint in Montreal.
                                Back in 1990 when Natives squared off against the Quebec Police and the army
                                was called in, they staged out of a small South Shore town called St.
                                Remy -- and I went to shoot the forces gathered there, since, living in
                                Canada, one rarely sees the army in one's own streets.  Here then, are some
                                photographs of the forces gathered in that far off summer in Quebec, while
                                halfway around the world, another army was massing to fight the first Gulf War.

Here is an M113 that was on display after having sustained mine damage in
Bosnia during peacekeeping operations there.  Aside from the damage
sustained by the vehicle, these walkaround pictures give a good idea of some
of the weathering etc endured by these white-painted vehicles in the field.
