My great-grandfather was an artillery officer. When I was a kid, he often walked with me along the Artillery Museum building. Various cannons were installed in front of the museum, and various stories about them were told to me by my great-grandfather. He also told me about Finnish war, the siege of Koenigsberg, the fall of Berlin, and about his service in heavy artillery regiment. The child`s memory was smart, and soon I could tell almost everything about that artillery pieces by myself. We used to approach some cannon and I reported: "The Br-5 howitzer! 280 millimeters, vintage of 1939, one round every four minutes!". "Good, Cadet! And what is this?" -"This is the ML-20 howitzer-gun!" "Very good! And that?" -"That is the A-19 gun, Colonel!" "Excellent!"-answered my great-grandfather, smiling, and we went to a nearby ice-cream stand.
Years passed by, and one day the veteran died. My father asked me to arrange the great-grandfather`s papers. And I found a very strange thing in his wallet: there were two pieces of paper. Their look was strange, as if they were torn away from a dictionary.
Right and Before... Before and Right... This two words seemed to be nonsense. Does it matter that one word have a transcription and another have not? I am sure that old colonel did not speak any language but Russian. I think he even could not read an English word in right way. But the key to this mystery was out there... Scenes from my childhood... Me, my great-grandfather and guns...they seemed to be so big that days... Can you find the clue?
