Canon de 75 modèle 1914 Schneider
The Canon de 75 modèle 1914 Schneider was a light field gun used by the French Army of World War I. It was created by modifying an export-model field gun built by Schneider et Cie at Le Creusot to fire shells from the family of 75mm artillery ammunition used by the Canon de 75 modèle 1897 and the Canon de 75 modèle 1912 Schneider. The Canon de 75 modèle 1914 Schneider bore a close resemblance to Canon de 75mm modèle 1912 Schneider. Thanks, however, to a somewhat longer barrel, the Model 1914 field gun weighed more than the Model 1912 field gun and could fire its shells out to greater distances.
