Lieutenant-Colonel George Taylor Denison III Armoury, commonly known as Denison Armoury, is a Canadian Forces facility. It is the headquarters of 4th Canadian Division (formerly Land Force Central Area), Joint Task Force Central, and the 32 Canadian Brigade Group. It is also home to several units of the brigade. It is named after George Taylor Denison III, a Canadian Militia commander, judge and Toronto alderman. (Source: Wikipedia).
There are two tanks on display; they were restored under the supervision of Sgt Roberts and this included having their serial numbers painted on the hull sides (source: J. DeMarco).
