US 37mm AT gun
Chris, looks like great fun plinking with the 37mm! It's still a bit of a puzzle how the NEI Nat Forge gun got to Australia. I don't think it was brought by the US Army, who certainly kept standardised with the regular 37mm AT gun, as this pic from the AWM database shows. I haven't found any other pics in the AWM's collection showing displaced NEI A/T guns coming to Australia.
ID Number: 150479 Maker: Bottomley, Clifford Date made: September 1942 Physical description: Black & white Summary: Townsville, Qld. September 1942. American troops give a demonstration of anti-tank tactics. The jeep (left background) has brought the gun crew and towed the 37mm anti-tank gun to the action station. Meanwhile, a soldier in a second jeep, armed with an anti-aircraft gun prepares to defend the position against an enemy attack.
