That's a good find. The 155mm St Chamond served in the Finnish Army long after WW2. I believe it was finally out of service in the 1960s.

If you've got higher resolution images of the 155mm at Juva I'd like to add them to Landships II.

Found the St Chamond gun on Google Maps at 61.899811,27.853321 - it's visible on street view with a bit of zooming.

Regards,

Charlie

Hi everyone!

 

This summer I found this beauty during my trip in Eastern Finland: 155 mm St. Chamond Mle 1915. It is situated in Juva, in the middle of village on the front yard of the church. Finland bought 24 pieces during the Winter War and these served well during the Continuation War.  

This one, serial number 269, is made in 1917. 

At least four of these have survived in Finland.
