US Army 57 MM Anti Tank Gun - Cherry Hill, NJ - Static Artillery Displays on Waymarking.com

There is no marker, plaque or any type of acknowledgment as to the purpose of this display. As for when it was placed, that too was a mystery to the men I spoke with.

The United States Army adopted the the British QF 6-pounder 7 cwt (also known as 6 pdr) as their primary anti-tank gun under the designation 57mm Gun M1. This British anti tank gun was also a 57 mm gun, their primary anti-tank gun during the middle of World War II.

This weapon was in service from 1942–1960. It was produced from 1941–1945, after being designed in 1940. It takes a crew of 6 and has a maximum range of 5,000 yards. It was only used in World War II.
