Hi!
I am embarrassed by gunners in German uniforms.
Maybe this Krupp 105mm field howitzer M. 1916

Hi!
Ummmhhh. I don`t think 10.5cm leFH16 Krupp howitzer. There are many differences in recoil mechanisms, carriage, shield seats,.....karlik wrote

The barrel does, indeed, look like that of a "canon de 155 L modèle 1877." It is, however, missing both the lifting "eye" and the trunnions of the barrel of the piece de Bange designed. That, and the look of the wagon, suggest that the tube in question belongs to a "canon de 155 L modèle 1877-1914." (The later was made by modifying a barrel from the de Bange piece and mating it to a modern carriage that was, in essence, a scaled-up version of the carriage used with the "canon de 105 L modèle 1913.")
A search of the standard texts on German heavy artillery in the years leading up to 1914 yields no mention of a "schwere 12 cm Kanone C/80" with a shield. However, a search based on the appearance of the men serving the gun was somewhat more fruitful.
Almost certainly. The gun has been pushed back beyond the recoil rails but the mounting is the de Stefano mount. There's some confusion
