notinfringed Posted February 5, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 5, 2008 The tanks as monuments thread is so much fun, I figured we could start one on Artillery. I'm not sure they belong in the vehicles section though. Just the same, here are a few that I have seen. The first two are just outside Yuma, Arizona, near the Yuma proving grounds.

45ACP Posted March 21, 2013 Share #8 Posted March 21, 2013 That is "Atomic Annie" a 280mm rifle or gun in the good old US of A. She was capable of firing a atomic projectile. And was moved by a tractor at both ends. Is that a Howitzer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobrahistorian Posted March 29, 2013 Share #10 Posted March 29, 2013 While the M65 280mm gun system was known as "Atomic Annie", the only one to actually carry that name is on display at the US Army Field Artillery Museum at Ft. Sill. Between Field Artillery and Air Defense Artillery, the Fort Sill Museums Directorate has nearly 200 pieces of US and foreign artillery on display.

1SG_1st_Cav Posted February 11, 2014 Share #13 Posted February 11, 2014 Here is a picture of our M114A1 155mm Howitzer that is on display next to our 1st Bn, 30th Field Artillery Bn Headquarters at Ft Sill. The shield is emblazoned with our 30th Field Artillery Regiment Crest. We actually dedicated this howitzer back in December 2003. Our motto is "Striving to the Highest", and our official nickname is "Hard Chargers". On 5 February 1966, A Btry, 1st Bn, 30th FA, performed the first helicopter lift of a 155mm Howitzer by CH-54 "TARHE" Flying Crane into combat. Also attached is a picture of the first delivery into a firing position at LZ Brass in support of the 1st Air Cavalry Division's Operation MASHER/WHITE WING. After this feat the M114A1 155mm Howitzer would never again be road bound. Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWalsh Posted February 18, 2014 Share #17 Posted February 18, 2014 This one is in New Richland, Minnesota, in their City Park. New Richland is not very far from Waseca, where the other one I just posted is at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWalsh Posted February 18, 2014 Share #18 Posted February 18, 2014 I was actually in New Richland, passing through, and stopped at the cemetery where Kenneth Brady is buried. He was a WW2 Marine and served through several campaigns, he went back to the Marines in 1948, made the Inchon landing in 1950, then was killed in action outside Seoul in September that year. His unit went on to the Chosin Reservoir. For some reason he is not mentioned on their memorial in their city park even though he was raised there and enlisted from there for WW2. His parents had moved about 50 miles east by the time he was killed, they are buried right by him, the town is only a couple thousand people, but for some reason he was excluded from their memorial. A couple years ago I wrote a letter to their American Legion asking about it, and offering to work on donations to get his name added, but never heard a single word back. So with that said, this post is a memorial to Kenneth Brady, killed in action in Korea. The monument with the artillery is here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12thengr Posted September 10, 2015 Share #22 Posted September 10, 2015 Thanks for the I.D. I thought the shield was a little small. Never even got out of the car for a close look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWalsh Posted October 10, 2015 Share #23 Posted October 10, 2015 I just posted a bunch of pics of this Civil War cannon in another thread here in the Forum but thought I would post a couple pics of it here too. There are a lot more in the main thread, which is linked here, if anyone wants to see more. This cannon is in - of all places - Cannon Falls, Minnesota. It is part of a memorial / memorial to Colonel William Colvill of the 1st Minnesota from the Civil War. Here is the main thread: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/251557-col-colvill-the-1st-minnesota-cannon-falls-minn/ Here are a few teaser pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
