Type 4 15cm howitzer in Wisconsin Rapids, WI

This Japanese Type 4 15cm howitzer is displayed in front of the WNG Armory.  Note that it is not a complete howitzer; it is only the barrel transport part of the howitzer.  The Type 4 had an unusual mechanism to break the howitzer into 2 loads for transport.
