<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 141219, member: 54&quot;]Thanks much.&nbsp; I should have explained that the &quot;French 75&quot; was one of the most famous weapons in history, used by both France and US against Germany in WWI.&nbsp; The text seems to be one of them talking, or kind of like a tribute to the accomplishments of the weapon in hands of skilled gun crews.&nbsp; The US used it until early in WWII, changing only the carriage in the 1930s to run on rubber tires in place of spoked wooden wheels.&nbsp; There will be loads of info on the web about the weapon, which in the US Army was known as &quot;75mm Gun, Model 1897.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
