8" Self Propelled Artillery
Later on we had moved in a position about 3 or 4 miles in front of the units. What a noise overhead
as the 8" rounds thundered by. If you could here them you knew you were safe. When the artillery unit
was not in use the barrel rested on a tripod near the front end of the barrel to the ground

8" Self Propelled Artillery Unit-Range 32 Miles
Can't remember if these self-propelled units were part of the 18th Field Artillery

8" Self Propelled Artillery Unit of 4th ID
The rumor was that this piece of artillery was designed because of the Korean War and the mountains...
Tanks then not having the fire power and range to be effective.
As stated before the 8" Self Propelled Artillery Unit had a maximum range of 32 miles
