The primary artillery pieces found at Fire Support Base Elliot, summer 1969.
The long barrel of the 175mm, the largest piece of artillery used in Vietnam, and above it is a 155mm artillery piece tract. 2nd largest next to the 8 inch.
Top is the duster, a pom-pom gun from WW2 days straight off a Navy battleship and put on tanks to use as infantry support. A loud, mean, nasty weapon.
