A restored 75mm TRA showing the articulated trail.
This inter war modification was introduced to improve the guns elevation and hence its range.

Re: Belgian artillery in 1940
Yes, I think so based on the continuous contact between the barrel and the piece underneath on the first picture and on the protruding piece at the end of part below the barrel in the second picture.Sturm78 wrote:Hi all,

Re: Belgian artillery in 1940
Hi all,
According to Ebay photo caption, Belgian howitzer but....I am not sure that the Belgians used the british 152mm 6in 26cwt howitzer....
Any idea ?

The man on the right appears to wear jackboots; IMO could be e.g. Russian/early Soviet or Baltic States.

Re: Belgian artillery in 1940
According to R Lothaire i L'artillerie lourde de campagne belge p.144 the BL 6 inch 26cwt was used by the Belgians in May 1940 as the L'Obusier de 6 pouces.
Batteries 13, 14 and 15 of V Groupe of IV RAA and batteries 16, 17 and 18 of VI Groupe of IV RAA were equipped with 4 Ob. 6" Hippo per battery

Re: Belgian artillery in 1940
Ummhhh...I have never seen this type of camouflage in Belgian artillery so I think perhaps Markus is right....perhaps Lithuanian ??
