I posed this question on several Meta groups and the results were mixed. The consensus was that the artillery pieces were towed by any vehicle available. If the larger silver HP howitzers were towed by either the tank or halftrack, that meant the Jeep was stuck handling the 'smaller' field gun. But 'small' is a relative term because when you look at the size of the gun in relation to the Jeep, it's still pretty big. One person noted that if the Jeep were to be expected to haul a piece of towed artillery like that, it would probably blow the clutch. However, I remember as a kid happily latching that gun onto the Jeep and thinking nothing of it. So what did you guys use to tow your cannon's and stuff as kids?
