[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2234521, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]I went out to the 45th Infantry Division Museum again today to take pictures, especially of the outside displays since I got rained out the last time. I ran across a display that had a sign for the artillery piece, but there were two other "pieces" nearby that were unlabeled. Since they seemed to all be together, I wondered if the two extra pieces were somehow related to the artillery piece as "support" devices. This is the M-1 Heavy 8-Inch Gun, of which there were only 139 made, so they won't be a common piece to see.
