    A group of U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) camouflage are handling an antique cannon mounted on a wooden-wheeled carriage, which is secured on a flatbed trailer attached to a Ford pickup truck. The scene appears to take place in an urban area, likely near a government or military building with a grassy lawn. The soldiers appear to be either loading, unloading, or securing the historical artillery piece.

    Outside of the Barracks on Iolani Palace grounds, Hawaii's Army National Guard reclaimed these 12-pound breach-loading cannons. The cannons where manufactured by the Driggs-Schroeder Company, and where received by the National Guard of Hawaii in 1895. They had been stored at Iolani Palace barracks by the Hawaii Historical Society and have been turned over the Guard. The 487th field Artillery of the HIARNG plans to restore the cannons.
