Located at the entrance to Janesville Cemetery is a veterans memorial with a military gun display in the middle. I was able to establish this gun as an 57 mm Gun M1 U.S. version. The British originally manufactured this gun as the 'Ordnance QF 6-pounder.' Both the British and the U.S. used this gun heavily in WWII.
