This display of the M1857 Field Gun is at Fort Dix, NJ. The former commanding
officer of the post was an artillery officer and placed this display outside of
the headquarters.

Interesting guns. I spent two years in artillery at Fort Bragg as a radio operator. Interesting time.

Can't say that I really enjoyed my 8 weeks at Ft Dix in '68
