Summary[edit]

  • Description: This field howitzer, nicknamed the Miss Connie E was set up by Marine artillerymen on the brink of a sheer cliff in one of the strangest gun positions of the war. It was used in the Tinian campaign to blast Japanese soldiers from caves. Parts were carried by hand to the edge of the cliff where the weapon was reassembled and lashed securely into position. August 25, 1944.
