Schneider 7,62cm mountain gun 1909
Permalink   


Another gun used by Czech Legion in Russia 1918-1919

 

I regret I couldnt take the side pick on this one!
As much as I regret that some things could never be photographed as I had so much flash back from the showcases

 

More to come

 

Till soon,

The Serbs used alot of Schnieder artillery - QF's listed below

According to the Serbian general Dragolyub Dinic, professor of Yugoslav Military Academy in 1930s (Science of Arms & Armament) Serbian artillery orders from France totalled:
- 45 batteries of 75 mm Schneider-Cresuot M.1907 field guns (total: 180 guns)
- 40 batteries of 75 mm Schneider-Cresuot M.1907A field guns (total: 160 guns)
- 9 batteries of 70 mm Schneider-Cresuot M.1907 mountain guns (total: 36 guns)
- 8 batteries of 120 mm Schneider-Canet M.1910 light howitzers (total: 32 guns)
- 2 batteries of 150 mm Schneider-Canet M.1910 medium howitzers (total: 8 guns)

There were also some horse artillery pieces, the above list also excludes earlier non QF or partial recoil / short reoil pieces.

I know the Bulgarians used the "same" Moutain gun but in 75mm (for ammunition commonality). The 120mm & 150mm (I bielive actually 155mm as I can't find a Schnieder of this calibre other than in 155mm) were adopted as 122mm & 152mm M1910 pieces by the Russians & are Visually Identical to the Serb pieces.
