The Canon Court de 105 M(montagne) modèle 1919 Schneider (105 mm mle.19) was a French mountain gun intended to be used in conjunction with the 75 mm mle.19. The mle.19 was manufactured by Schneider. For transport, this gun could be broken down into 8 sections; the barrel could be dismantled into 2 sections. These were also used by Yugoslavia and Germany (the latter referring to them as 10.5 cm le.GebH 322(f) and 10.5 cm le.GebH 329(j)). The crew was protected by an armoured shield. A variant was later made, this being the Canon Court de 105 M(montagne) modèle 1928 Schneider, which the Germans referred to as a 10.5 cm le.GebH 323(f).[3]
Licence-produced in Trubia, it was an armament of Spain from 1924, as Obús Schneider 105/11 Modelo 1919.[4]
