Some of the vintage cannons unearthed from the Naval Engineering Command compound which are being honoured as 'war veterans'. "The cannons are regarded and revered as war veterans serving the nation and must be honoured in a religious ceremony," Naval Engineering Command chief Rear Adm Samai Chai-in said. He planned to display the weapons at a museum run by the Naval Engineering Command. The command later ordered the area to be excavated, leading to the discovery of the other buried cannons. "It was not an easy feat to lift it from the ground," Rear Adm Samai said.
