NotesThe 75/27 Modello 11 was based on a French design and could either be towed by horse or carried on a trolley for motorised traction. It had split trail which gave it higher elevation and better range over the Modello 06 and saw service mainly with cavalry divisions but some found their way into infantry formations.
