NotesThe 7 Veld was a Krupp designed field gun which was adopted by the Dutch army in 1904. These guns were modernised after the First World War and given a wider carriage to allow for higher elevation which gave the guns a much longer range. It was the standard field gun of the infantry and light divisions and was issued to field artillery regiments.
