Notes | The 152mm M.1910 gun was another Schneider artillery piece which was modernised like many others in the late 1920s and brought up to standard. The weapon was used as a siege gun and was up-dated as the 152mm M.1910/30. It was a heavy gun which required the removal of the barrel to allow for transportation and was transported in two parts. They served in heavy gun regiments which were found at corps level. |
