75 mm Schneider-Danglis 06/09

The carriage had rotating cranked axle stubs, allowing for high or low elevation. Underneath the gun was a cradle with a hydro-pneumatic recoil system, as well as an S-shaped shield and hinged box trail, the latter of which allowed the gun to be drawn by horses from fitted shafts. It was used by Greece during the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922), Balkan Wars, World War I, and World War II. The Russian Empire purchased several guns from Schneider-Creusot in France, but also manufactured 400 licensed guns at the Putilov Works. Bulgaria captured 5 guns during World War I. Finland purchased an unknown quantity which were used during the Winter War.
