Country:  | What is your Army IQ?
I was revisiting some of my old pictures and came across some from a trip that might provide some interest to you guys familar with Cold war army. Can you name these weapons? One is obvious, the name is implied, a couple are pre WWII. |

4-French 75mm artillery, in dire need of restoration, may be a US license built.

Country: | A couple of more. One has a famous name, one was part of final negotiations in the Cold War, and the grave site is man who is well known by every army paratrooper. Name the weapons and the man, and, state where these pictures were taken. | |

Ah, must have caught you in the middle of a correction!

Country: | In that last trio of photos, is the middle one a Pershing missile?
Where is this museum? I'd love to volunteer to help restore that 75. Sveral years ago, put a new coat of paint on a Stuart tank which sits in front of the county courthouse where I live.

I will let you know where it is but I want to give others an opportunity to guess. I will give further clues on the remaining three pictures. The big gun is the most unique gun in the museum and, probably the world. It has a famous name and was involved in a historical event. Someone should get this now. The small gun was the premier gun at the start of the American Civil War. The man is not only well know by American paratroopers but was very respected by friends and enemy and was also feared by enemies. He was know for bravery and daring during desert warfare. Look closely at the tombstone for any clues. Final clue, it is name you know (probably).
