FORT NORFOLK, Va. — In a ceremony held Jan. 6 at Norfolk District’s Waterfield building headquarters, Baltimore District staff presented Norfolk District Commander Col. Dionysios Anninos a 45-pound cannon ball recovered from the Former Nansemond Ordnance Depot in Suffolk, Va.
The cannon ball dates back to the late 1800s, and was discovered while Corps contractors were working to remove discarded munitions from the Formerly Used Defense Site property.
