Here are the Artillery pieces on display outside the museum, I ID'd them using the museum's plaques, so don't blame me if they are wrong . I have more pictures of them so if anyone needs a shot of something particular, let me know, I might have it. Camp Shelby outdoor display _________________ Joe_D

Hey Joe! That 155 reminded me of my dad's 1942 Camp Shelby basic training book. I had to dig it out take some pictures. They used stuff left over from WW1 for basic.

Dennis, That gun might be the same one he used since on the plaque it said it was use at Shelby for training during WWII. _________________ Joe_D

Missed one...if it's still there. There's another M114/M1 over in front of one of the HQ buildings. I took pics of it in Dec 2003. I can see what I've got if anyone is interested.
