    Interesting question, Lee. I can't seem to find any info (or photos), but there was room for 11 90mm rounds within the counterweight so it was somewhat hollow.

    Superb photos. In future days other family members may recognize ancestors in your collection. Stay tuned!
    Thanks for sharing! Terrific stuff.

    I have often thought about what potential is in the offing for Google's Image "search for similar photos" feature....

    I did a google image search for "607th tank destroyer battalion" and yours showed up already!!! :troll1:
    ===> even though yours are copy protected <===

    Something familiar struck me about
    All sizes | Unknown at tent camp | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

    I will have to mull this one over... hitting "similar" got me no where... at least as yet...
