Description

United States Army soldiers assembling a US Army 75mm pack gun. The gun is being assembled at an Army camp, with tents in the background and lines for the mules, that were frequently used to carry the disassembled guns just behind the soldiers. Two of the mules, one of the left and one on the right, are fitted with the harness to carry components of the gun.
