Quoted:
Dad was USMC Artillery 59-79 IIRC. He was Reserves for most of that time. We still have a couple of spent shell casings at my mom's place I don't recall if they were 105 or 155 but big fuckers. They must have been 105s because 155s and 203s are separate loading and don't use a case for obturation. |

At some point I hope to get them and the rest of Dad's stuff. |

Took it off the USS Kinkaid years ago after they fired the guns on a towed target. Came from the aft mount. I wish I still had it.
