M1918 155mm howitzer in Two Rivers, WI

This memorial is located in front of the Wisconsin National Guard Armory on Sandy Bay Road.




This sign is somewhat in error in that the carriage is of French manufacture (M1917A4) but the gun itself is U.S. made (M1918) as shown in the next two photos. (photo by John Anderson)
