Notes
The HK Vz.16/19 (Horský Kanon Vzor 16/19) was a heavy mountain howitzer which was designed and built by the Czech firm Skoda. It was capable of being split into three sections for transport with the barrel and cradle being pulled by two horse carts and the carriage pulled on its own wheels. It was issued to artillery regiments located in mountain brigades.
