I dont know much about jap ordnance I have a few bits of info on the weapons that fired the shells and only have a rough picture of a 75mm jap mountain gun projectile and case, 155mm seems a huge caliber for dragging through the mountains glad it wasnt me.

Hi Daz, It was called a mountain gun because it could be broken down into a few parts for transport,pretty well the same as a pack howitzer,65mm m-gun,used by italy,or the skoda 75mm mountain gun m1915,are good examples,have any members got any pics of a 75mm skoda he or shrapnell projectile? Cheers.
