I love this Life Magazine photo of a 155 mm howitzer being fired on Oahu's North Shore.

It's a 75, not big enough for a 155.

Nice shots John.

Here's a few more.

You can see the Hawaiian Division insignia on the armor plate of the guns.

Thanks, now I see the 11th FA marking on the shield. Here's another one from the 11th FA.

The 11th FA had short-barreled 155mm "Schneider" Howitzers. Danny
