This is a US 155mm howitzer nick named the Long Tom.
This is a Mauser anti-tank rifle. It is 13.2 mm and therefore bigger than a .50 cal round (which is 12.7.)
Its design is from WWI and must have given the individual firing quite a thump.

Thanks for the information Captain. It seemed like a .50 to me but I am happy that you know for sure what this is.
Thanks.

Good link Vee I have an interesting one too, 3 Dutch found a German soldier near Shumanm's eck Crossroads near Wiltz/ Luxembourg in 2007 but read for yourself it's in the middle of the page.

I read that story on a Dutch website. It was told by the guys who found the skeleton. Unfortunately they couldn't identify the soldier. |
