Nice T16 pics...but help identify Dutch AT Gun

[nuyt]

Well Bubbaandshaff, that's an excelent find!

Thanks!

These guns were as you say ordered by the Dutch (Netherlands Purchasing Commision) in the US for the KNIL (Dutch East Indies Army).

A small number of limbered guns were actually delivered and some more were on their way to the NEI but diverted after the fall of Java (ending up in various places: Australia and the Dutch West Indies).

I had always assumed (before seeing these pictures) that although made by a different manufacturer, these guns would have looked similar to the US army standard 37mm AT gun.

I know someone in Holland who is researching these guns. Tonight, when at home I will look into this a bit more.

As you say, these guns could easily be fitted into tanks. That must have been the Marmon-Herrington light and medium tanks that were ordered in great numbers by the Dutch as well (also for KNIL).

Will get back to this.

Greetings
