Of course, this gun has a very similar look to the British 18 pdr, the only difference being the tube calibre. The museum plate unexpectingly says this one has been produced for Canada ?

Rear view. Note the tubular trail, typical of the 18-pdr early versions.

Breech markings : "75mm - FIELDGUN - MODEL OF 1917 (BRITISH)".
