    Here's a nice close up of the breech and sights for the 10.5 cm Feldhaubitze 98/09 (10.5 cm FH 98/09). It's also interesting because it has the unit markings... Geschutz 3, 6. (Fahrende) Batterie, Feld-Artillerie-Regiment Nr.94.

    The chalk markings at the top of the shield I believe are azimuth and range data for a planned or priority target... (probably a bunch of infantrymen).

    This artist card of the 15cm sFH 02 may be as common as the gun itself. Jager notes that this was the first artillery piece to use a modern recoil system in the German Army and over 400 were in service at the start of the war.

    It's difficult to find a photo of this gun on the internet; there are just a couple. Unfortunately, the carriage is hidden, but the trunnions give it's identity away...

    These German gunners had their picture taken at Juterbog, Fussartillerie SchiessShule with a schwere 12cm Kanone M1880 (12cm sK M80)

    Despite being a somewhat antiquated piece, the German artillery appreciated the range capabilities of the French de Bange Canon de 155 L Modele 1877 and turned captured guns on their former owners. This looks like a crew of Bavarian Fuss-Artillerie (note what appear to be MVK ribbons).

    Any help with the reverse writing appreciated...
