The top one is a German 88

Would this be Aberdeen?

And a wild guess on the gravesite - Kurt Student? (hiding behind the couch)

Correct, again. Okay, the last gun (very hard) and the man is shown. One more hint on the site. All of the weapons shown are field artillery (including the missiles). Thunder in the distance, live fire. Not Aberdeen.

Note that there is some colorful objects on the memorial. People still put trinkets and money there.

So thats the artillery museum at Fort Sill in Oklahoma, and the monument is actually Geronimo's grave at the Indian POW cemetery. Looks like the "Skull and Bones" society of Yale university apparently dug him up and stole some of Geronimo's skeletal remains, including Prescott Bush.

Overall, looks like a very neat museum to visit, though some of the photos of the museum showpieces, while interesting to see in their original "as found" condition, they really need a thorough restoration.

Very good! I have been to the Patton Museum at Fort Knox(was stationed there) and the museum at Camp Mabry in Austin. That is a good one and well worth seeing if one is in the area.

Correct! It was a very interesting museum with a lot of interesting weapons, some captured in Iraq. Some I had put together as models as a kid, I particularly remember the Honest John. I was very disappointed in the state of preservation of most of the displays.
