WW 2, German, 15 cm Howitzer, Abingdon, IL - Static Artillery Displays on Waymarking.com

This gun is a German Type sFH18, 15 cm Howitzer. The one name plate has painted over so many times that it was unreadable except for a few larger letters, "Acht...". This gun (and nameplate) appeared very similar to a gun I found in Mendota, IL., Waymark WM14EZ.

This gun is displayed on a grassy strip between the two lanes of Main Street. Parking is nearby and is obvious.

Here is a web site with a photo and information about this type of gun:
