Entering into this war, our 75mm mle 1897 was the world’s best artillery piece, and four years of war have only improved its reputation. This gun, known for its quick-fire, can bombard German positions anywhere on the front and pin down the Boche until we close in.

Assembling the Gun Teams Each gun team has a gun, a limber, one NCO (either d. or e. above) and one of each gun crewman (f. to i. above) on a large artillery base. Use plastic base plugs to fill the unneeded holes in the base.
For convenience, many people prefer to paint the gun and limber separately from the crew, then glue to the base after painting.
