7,7 cm L.23 Feldkanone M.96 n.A. (Krupp)

At the beginning of World War One the 7.7 cm Feldkanone M.96 served in three of the four artillery units attached to an infantry division, in both batteries of each artillery reserve regiment, in both batteries attached to each Landwehr brigade, and in the horse battery of each of the eleven cavalry divisions. Battlefield losses in the artillery were replaced with improved guns and howitzers. In 1917, the infantry divisions had three artillery units, only one of which still deployed the 7.7 cm Feldkanone M.96. The other two artillery units were equipped with the improved 7.7 cm Feldkanone M.16 and the 10.5 cm Feldhaubitze M.98/06 or M.16.
