What do you think...� Is this a captured Canon de 155 L Mod�le 1877 in service with the German Fuss-Artillerie?� Back of photo is dated 23 July 1915, possibly at an exercise area near Lille.
To echo Charlie's remarks, I might add significant numbers of these systems were captured, and �along with the 120mm deBange, �were happily used by their new owners. �though considered obsolete because they lacked a recoil carriage, the Germans none the less, appreciated their "reach", �So impressed were they with the the long deBanges guns' performance, the Germans tooled munitions plants to produce the 155mm and 120mm rounds to supplement captured stocks. � The only other beute gun ammunition was manufactured for was the Ruski 7,62cm M00/02 systems,
