Notes | The Dutch bought ten 120mm M1905 howitzer from the German firm Krupp in 1908. The 12 Lang 12 was a short barrelled howitzer and this limited its range to less than 6000m. It was obsolete by modern standards, but due to a shortage of modern medium howitzers it was still in service in 1940. |
