Field gun

The Canon de 105 modèle 1930 Schneider (Danish: 10½ cm, 48 kaliber lang, feltkanon model 1930) was a field gun used by the armies of Greece, Denmark, and Poland during World War II. It used the same sprung single-axle split-trail carriage as the Schneider 149 mm Modele 1929 howitzer. The gun had steel wheels with solid rubber tires and could be towed by either a horse-team or artillery tractor. It used the cumbersome Schneider-trademark spade plates that had to be hammered into the ground to anchor the gun in place.
