Historical Significance:
The M1 57mm Anti-Tank Gun was a crucial asset in the U.S. Army’s anti-tank artillery during World War II. Adapted from the British 6-pounder gun, the M1 provided essential firepower against armored vehicles, supporting infantry units across various theaters of war. The M2 Carriage, which supported the M1 gun, included essential components such as the lower shield lower plate. This plate provided additional protection for the gun crew, shielding them from small arms fire and shrapnel, thereby enhancing their effectiveness and survivability in combat.
