Being refurbished for further exposition on the Communal Green

The members of the l'Andover Patriotic Committee are currently refurbishing that nice howitzer, to expose it on the communal green at Memorial Day 2009.

This gun has been captured by the US 37th Division (Ohio National Guard) during the Ypres & Lys offensive, from October 31 to November 2, 1918.

Breech markings "Nr 538 - 1910". This is a bit strange : a LFH 16 built in 1916 ???
