Day 297 – 10.5 cm Feldhaubitze 98/09 (10.5 cm FH 98/09)

Day 297

Saturday 17 December 2022

I have visited Quebec City often in the past but I had never visited the Plains of Abraham Museum.

I am planning a little guided tour outside before we go inside.

Outside…

Calibre:

10.5 cm Feldhaubitze 98/09 (10.5 cm FH 98/09)

Produced: 1917

Weight: 1,145 kg (2,524 lbs)

Maximum firing range: 6,300 m (20,670 feet)

Field gun captured by the 22nd Battalion (22nd French Canadian Battalion), 5th Infantry Brigade, 2nd Division, Canadian Expeditionary Force, during the Hundred Days Offensive, Pas-de-Calais, France.

I have to admit I am not that knowledgeable about artillery and I have never built any model kits of artillery pieces.

There’s always time to start learning more of the war to end all wars.
