NotesThe 75/27 Modello was the standard light field used by the Italians during World War One. It was licenced built copy of Krupp K06 and was equivalent to many of the light field guns in service at that time. The Modello 06 was still in service in World War Two and equipped artillery units during the early phase of the conflict with being converted for motorised traction.
