jul 15, 1917 - Howitzers
Description:
The howitzer is a "gun" (characterized by a longer barrel, larger propelling charges, smaller shells, higher velocities, and flatter trajectories) and the "mortar" (which was meant to fire at even higher angles of ascent and descent). Howitzers are usually organized in groups called batteries and they were deadly.Added to timeline:
