Great coverage Trailboss, I like how you put this together.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Does anybody know the story on the field piece being towed behind the Willys? I can't remember seeing this gun before (3"/ 75mm?). Is it something from the U.S. arsenal, or something else? Maybe Italian? Some kind of "mountain" artillery?The following photos are of the vehicles at the museum, many are privately owned. For some reason the ambulance photos didn't come out. There were a pile of jeeps! View attachment 618065
That would be the US 75mm Pack Howitzer M1. It comes completely apart so the parts can be carried on pack animals (mules) to remote locations.Does anybody know the story on the field piece being towed behind the Willys?

How's it all going, mkcoen? Sure hope you're okay.Hope everyone has a great time. I'm sitting with tubes in my arm wishing I was headed toward College Station. Guess I'll try again next year.
Better than 2 weeks ago. Thanks for asking. Still pretty weak, tire easily and having to use a cane most of the time. I'm getting closer to where I was pre-treatment but not there yet.How's it all going, mkcoen? Sure hope you're okay.
Oct 14/15What are the dates in Oct. I will be at the Georgia Rally from Oct. 18 thru the 23rd.
And then you got the college tours, after all that. I'm glad I got all that behind me; good luck!I can't make it either Mark. Colton is a senior this year which means one more fall of traveling with the band. I get to go to Sequin in two days and am just overjoyed about it. The Mullins weekend has a game on Friday, a marching contest on Saturday and I will try to sleep on Sunday.
So any plans yet on the Oct event at The Museum of the American GI? I've got the weekend cleared. I was planning on setting up at the swap meet but had the driver of my POV cancel and I'm not loading 16 395/85s in the back of the LMTV so will just be showing up Friday.
Planning on being there with Carlos. At a minimum, will bring M1010 Ambulance and Carlos's M-Gator.
