There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
Looks like a 58mm or 6Pdr anti tank gun?

Which cannon was it that shared the ballistics of the Garandso the crews would mount one up next to the big gun to take siting shots?

Oddly enough, I used a 37mm round as a paper weight for years.

"The M1 57 mm Anti-Tank Gun
The M1 is an almost exact copy of the Britishsix-pounder anti-tank gun. The British design was first modified to American manufacturing practices and standards in order to produce the weapon for Great Britain under Lend-Lease. Production of the U.S. M1 anti-tank gun began in May 1941, and approximately 16,000 were made through 1945. The gun was light, easy to maneuver on the battlefield, and fired both armor-piercing ammunition and a high-explosive shell. Compared to American designed artillery, it had a horrendous recoil that was not popular with troops. The weapon was retired at the end of World War II."
Wiki
