This 4.5 inch Gun M1 is located off US 421 between Osgood and Napoleon, Indiana, not far south of Interstate 74. It is a centerpiece of a C. E. Reinking Memorial Park.

These photos show details of this corps artillery piece, as well as weathering patterns for those interested.

If you visit, C. E. Reinking Memorial Park features an open shelter as well as about half a dozen picnic tables and grills in a copse.

Interesting: gun SN 1, carriage SN 1; the prototypes. The recoil mechanism is SN 557 though. They made 426 complete guns and 233 spare recoil mechanisms, so that is one of the spares. I wish I had known of this last year. I was in that area checking out military equipment and have never seen a 4.5-inch gun. KL
