The German 7.7cm 96 n.A. and the
10cm lFH 98/09 used almost identical limbers. The only
difference between them is that the rounds on the limber for the howitzer (24
in each limber) were stowed vertically, and also that the box was slighly
deeper. These pictures show the feldprotze for the 7.7cm, with rounds in the
very characterstic wicker containers. Notice also the big folded tent ("zeltsack"),
and behind it the bench for the riders. Notice also the folding support used to
keep the limber horisontal when in Battery.
These photos show two limbers
currently on show at the splendid Army Museum in Brussels. (Or is the first grey
one really a caisson?)
