I wonder which foot do you put the toe tag to make it easier to identify the body after the accident? Weight difference 9500 pounds vs how much?

Did either the 6 or 17 pounder have brakes controlled by the towing vehicle or surge brakes?

We've had a couple of strange accidents in our local MV club with people towing artillery. One involving a 57mm behind a CCKW one of the trailing arms came unlocked and swung out which changed the geometry so the gun swung out to the side and tried to pass the truck. The other was Jeep towing 37mm was rear ended by a car at the drive up window at McDonalds. The muzzle of the put and interesting dent in the hood of the offending vehicle.
