  Likely taken in Brownsville, Texas. See

• Ryan (LOC P&P) said:

  I agree swanq. We'll add the information to this record the next time we update.

  I believe this is am M1906 4.7 inch field gun. Is there an indication that the NYNG was issued these weapons or were they special issue for operations on the border? According to Wikipedia, only 60 were made. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4.7_inch_Gun_M1906)

German ammunition abandoned at Battle of the Marne, 10/29/14 (LOC)

• Jim Rees said:

  German 77mm light field artillery shells, very common in WWI. You can see the seam between the shell case and the head. These look like shrapnel rounds. They also made gas rounds.

• DarkAngelDay said:

  Wow! Cool shot!

  I bet 77mm was more than enough to kill or cripple dozens of soldiers.

• Australian War Memorial collection said:

  You can read a little more about Private Hines in the online version of an exhibiton we did a few years ago called Fifty Australians. He became quite famous because of this photo, which was first published in late 1917.

  Thanks, Liz from AWM. That's a good piece about Mr. Hines which you have linked.
