Regarding WWI 10cm K 14 German Field Gun.
Per the museum website:
"Albert County has the distinction of having the highest percentage of population to enlist for service for World War One in all of Canada. The majority of the Albert County men served in the New Brunswick battalion, known as the 'Fighting 26th'."
Hence it is fitting that the citizens of the county strongly supported the war loan effort.
