Your Welcome there are quite a few others available I'm still grappling with the search terms, will post a few more later mostly smaller mortars 58s, 150, 240etc and the 37mm trench gun.... some though are conspicuous by their absence 65 and 80 mm Mountain guns for example... so far....

Another Mortar type weapon although not described as such, the "Archer" Canon d'infanterie de 85 millimètres, modèle 1918 only vaguely heard of this before and rather a surprise to find, as I expected something else entirely...

An excellent book with a great deal of detail on a number of older guns, 150L, 120L, 155mm 1881, 220mm 1889, 95 90 and 80 guns, includes many drawings and detailed info.
As Charlie says above, "you could just about build a gun from these plans." And that's what I'm about to do.  Next week, I will visit a  museum  to make measurements so that I can make dimensioned engineering drawings of French 75 mm Modele 1897, then scale down for a 1:10 to 1:5 model. The French document, with its colorized drawings and especially the isometric views, are a great supplement to the orthometric, monochrome drawings in the US Army TM 9-1305.
Canon de 145/155 Mle 1916 Saint Chamond (http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k6577380k) - Naval barrel on land carriage - successful long range gun with low dispersionÂ
of shots.
Canon de 145 Mle 1910 Saint Chamond (http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k6551908h) - small numbers produced before the definitive Mle 1916.
Canon de 220 Mle 1917 L Schneider (http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k65523488)
Obusier de 203mm Mark VI Anglais (http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k6552745d) - British 8 inch Mark VI howitzer
Regards,
Charlie
