Here is an update of the latest about the gun. Does anyone in here have any bright ideas of who/where else to enquire about this gun to find out from where and how, and why, it came to be given to our Local Legion??? Any help appreciated.

Hi Carmen. I spoke with a few Veterans who have told me in fact the Cannon in front of our Legion is a World War One captured German Cannon. So far, nobody seems to know when or how we obtained it. I took the following numbers from the breach mechanism this morning in hopes you can find out more with your resources. I tried the "net" but came up empty. Here is what I took off the Cannon.
Nr 19241 M.457 U
GS 7008 RV
1917
UW 101
I'll keep on asking questions as I encounter more Veterans in hopes of getting some concrete answers to pass on to you. Pls. keep me updated on your findings as well
