7,6cm leichter Minenwerfer 256 (b)

76 mm F.R.C. (Don't no where FRC stands for) There is an article in one of the Deminest by Mr. Belot

Hi sgdbdr & Chris,
F.R.C. stands for La Fonderie Royale des Canons.
And here is the Article by Mr. Belot, Chris talked about.
I hope you can read French.

The belgian name for the german 7,6cm lMW is Mortier de 76 Allemand (Mor 76A).
And like sgdbdr already wrote: the FRC is not the same weapon.

That's what I thought.
Second question, was it in service in the Belgian Army or was it just a captured gun ?
 
It actually states "Bemerkungen 1, Ahnlich dem alten deutschen M W (Minenwerfer)" at the bottom of the specification sheet of foreign equipment, depicted in the initial post, which translates to "Remarks 1. Similar to the old German mine thrower".
