Notes | The LK Vz.17 (Lehký Kanon Vzor 17) first saw action in the first world war and used by the Austro-Hungarian army. It was still in use during the inter war period and was modernised. It was the standard field gun of the artillery regiments in infantry divisions, but was gradually replaced by the LK Vz.30 and by 1938 only around 267 were still in service. |
