Military
Between 1910-1918, the Rheinmetall Factory of Germany produced 1,234 of these heavy trench mortars, which could hurl 97kg (210-lb) high-explosive shells up to 550 meters. This gun was a war trophy given by the US Government to the Village of Clyde in 1925, and it was placed here in honor of local soldiers who lost their lives during World War One.
