Hi Rich,

There were a number of fuses used with the light field howitzers ammo:
H.Z. 05 Schr
H.Z. 05 Gr
H.Z 16
E.H.Z 16
E.H.Z 17
E.H.Z 16 C
H.Z.14 Fb

The above fuses were used with the following light field howitzers: (and of course the shell type: shrapnel /HE etc)
'98/'09 pattern
1916 pattern &
Krupp pattern

Hope this helps!

Cheers
Drew
