Subdeacon Joe Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 https://www.facebook.com/CampSLOMuseum For example History of Camp San Luis Obispo, California · +4 California State Military Museums Program, California Military Department · This week, our team at our Museum Support Center-South, Camp San Luis Obispo, completed Phase I of the restoration of our M1897 "French 75" 75mm Field Gun. Phase I restored this field piece to the World War II salute gun configuration. Soon, we will begin Phase II of this project. This phase will return this historic piece of artillery to its World War I configuration by fabricating and installing the shield and seats for the gunners. This configuration was used by the California National Guard's 143rd Field Artillery Regiment from World War I to 1933, when the regiment transitioned from horse-drawn guns to truck-drawn variants. The barrel and breech were manufactured in 1918 by the French arsenal, Atelier de Construction de Bourges ("Manufacturing Workshops of Bourges"). The carriage was also made in 1918 at the Willys Overland Company of Toledo, Ohio. We want to commend PFC(CA) Tom Wilmer for his efforts in restoring this piece of history and Mr. Rich Pecaoco for assisting with the final installation of the barrel.

Sounds like a personal problem. That's why I made a point to mention FB in the subject line, to try to ward off the professional victims who whine about not being able to see things on FB. I figured that if they see "FB" they'll just ignore it and move on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
