Description:
In 1766 King Sinphyushin fought Thailand (Ayuthaya) and captured their capital. One of the cannon brought back from
Thailand was recently excavated from Innwa (Ava) city and displayed in the Military Museum at 49th Myanmar Military
Day Exhibition. It was an unusual display because after the Third Anglo - Burmese War, General Prendergast sent most
cannon and captured guns to England, as presents to Queen Victoria and her court. For this reason many Myanmar
cannon remain in the United Kingdom.....Subject Terms: 1. Myanmar Army - Cannons...
