Default Field Gun 75mm M1897 aka 75mm QF Mark I

Does anyone have any information regarding the M1897 Field Gun's use in WW II? I found references to the 75mm QF Mark I suggesting it was used at some point by Commonwealth forces but there is scant info. 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.
