Back in 1970 I
witnessed a wedding where the bride and groom were carried from the chapel to
the reception on a 155mm Howitzer, M114, commonly called the “155 Pig.” I thought that was strange, but apparently, I wasn't done.
I received these
photographs in an inquiry and thought them interesting. I have no idea where this is or who this is. My thanks to the inquirer for allowing me to
post them.
The bride and
groom appear to have complete confidence in the mules and drivers.
Oddly for this
time, the bandsman with the Sousaphone is Black, while the rest of the band is
White. The elderly gentleman in the right
foreground appears to be carrying some sort of civilian small arm, the purpose
of which cannot accurately be determined.
Good photograph
