Notes | The 152mm M.1909 was another artillery piece which was modernised like many others in the late 1920s and brought up to standard. It was originally a Schneider design and was given the title 152mm M.1909/30. It had many modifications which included a longer chamber, changes to the breechblock, elevation and cradle and in some cases new wheels. It was issued as a divisional gun/howitzer and issued to artillery regiments in infantry divisions. Some were also issued to corps artillery regiments and saw service against the Japanese, Finns and later the Germans. |
