  From the display: Gorgets, designed to shield the neck, were one of the last vestiges of protective plate armor on the battlefield. While functional gorgets were made with two steel plates (front and back), this is an early example of a single-plate, ornamental version. Made by a goldsmith from soft brass and then gilded, it would have been worn as a conspicuous symbol of rank. The image of Athena, Greek goddess of war and wisdom, at the center might indicate that it was made for a military en...

In October 1944, tactical uses for this weapon were developed by the 18th Field Artillery Battalion, First U.S. Army. It was discovered that the rocket launcher’s concentrated firepower initially had a great demoralizing effect on the enemy. However, it had limited range and was time consuming to reload. This created an erratic firing pattern. The tests also revealed that the T27 was difficult to...

Additional armor plate applied to the front and turret of this tank was partially successful. Several enemy antitank rounds ricocheted harmlessly. One enemy round bounced off the armor and destroyed the gun barrel.

• Mark VIII "Liberty" tank. One of three still in existence.

  Mark VIII “Liberty” Tank A joint British-American design, the Mark VIll “Liberty” tank was designed for a major spring 1919 Allied offensive. The Armistice on November 11, 1918 led to the suspension of the project. In 1919 Rock Island Arsenal took up the project to assemble the tanks from parts already manufactured, producing 100 Mark VIll tanks between 1919 and 1920. Based on the British Mark V tank, the Mark VIll was a heavy tank stretching more than thirty-four feet long and eleven feet wid...
