History
The Ordnance QF 13-pounder “Shrapnel” was a British field gun used primarily during World War I. It fired 13-pound (5.9 kg) shrapnel shells designed to burst in the airand scatter lethal steel balls over enemy troops. With a rangeof about 5.9 km, it was mounted on a light, fast carriage and used mainly by the Royal Horse Artillery to support cavalryunits. Its rapid-fire capability and mobility made it ideal forengaging exposed infantry, though it was later supplementedby high-explosive shells as trench warfare reduced theeffectiveness of shrapnel fire.
The German 10 cm Kanone 17 (K 17) was a field gun used by Germany during World War I and into World War II. Designed to replace the older 10 cm K 14, it featured a longer barrel for increased range and better ballistic performance. The gun fired 105 mm (10 cm) shells and had a maximum range of about 16 km. Built with a box trail carriage and lacking a shield in early models, it was used primarily for counter-battery fire and long-range bombardment. Some remained in service with the Wehrmacht during the early years of World War II, often as coastal defense or secondary artillery.
The 15 cm sFH 13 (schwere Feldhaubitze 13) was Germany’s standard heavy field howitzer of World War I. Introduced in 1913, it replaced the older sFH 02 and offered improved range and firepower. It fired 149 mm high-explosive shells up to about 8.5 km, making it effective for destroying enemy trenches and fortifications. The gun used a box-trail carriage and hydro-spring recoil system, and it became the backbone of German heavy artillery during the war. Many remained in service into the interwar years and even saw limited use early in World War II.
