The 4.5 inch gun M1 was a field gun developed in the United States in the beginning of World War II.It shared the same carriage with the 155mm howitzer M1 and fired the same ammunition as the British BL 4.5-inch medium field gun.
The howitzer was designed to be employed in a mixed battery with 12-pounder field guns. By the time of the American Civil War, the 24-pounder howitzer was superseded by the 12-pounder Napoleon , which combined the functions of both field gun and howitzer.
