Two Army Field Guns -- American Legion Post 76, Austin TX - Static Artillery Displays on Waymarking.com

Two Army Field Guns on static display in front of American Legion Post 76 on Atlanta Street in Austin TX.

These howitzers appear to us to be of WWII vintage.

According to Kaw500, these guns are 75mm Field Guns Model 1897A4, on carraiges M2A2 or M2A3.

Thanks to Kaw500 for the correct terminology and identifications! (Blasterz are Navy veterans, so we know more about ships than Army Field Guns!) :)
