What a training camp, mud field outside and barely any amenities. I've lived in a few field camps but that would be hard to do again. I wonder what camp that is or was?

Are the trails to what appears to be about .37mm anti tank guns under canvas and folded for travel.

The U.S. M3 37 mm anti-tank gun was adopted in 1940, could be some of those.

Was it the M3 37 that shared a trajectory with the Garand
so the crews would mount one up to fire sighting rounds?
