I ask because I have found a U.S. Field Gun 75mm M1897 languishing in a city storage compound here in Texas and I'm seeking permission to, if not buy it outright, to at least be given care and control of it so as to refurbish it and use it in parades and reenactments. I'd like to accurately portray it's use in a Commonwealth unit, if possible. If not, I'll have to buy an American uniform. Thanks for any help, Derek.

Get a hold of Grant Bowker at Military Manuals..
He has the the manual for you..These were obviously mounted on half tracks so there is a little info any way,,..
It is a good manual and will list the other TM's that you may need..
