Forty-two of these weapons had been produced before 1917 and all were employed within the US for training in that war. Although this weapon appears in World War I-era tables of organization and equipment, for combat use in France the Canon de 155 C mle 1917 Schneider was purchased, and remained the standard weapon of this class until early World War II.[1] All surviving weapons were retired during the 1920s.[2] It is unusual among American-designed field artillery weapons in that it has the recoil cylinder situated above the barrel. The 4.7-inch howitzer M1908/M1912 shared this feature.[3][4] The 75 mm Gun M1917 also had this, but was based on the British Ordnance QF 18-pounder. Ammunition was either common steel shell with a base fuze, or shrapnel with a combination time/percussion fuze.[5][2] See alsoWeapons of comparable role, performance and era
