Not sure it was a gun - looks like a "Mortier de 150 T Mle 1917 Fabry" - in other words a heavy mortar.

Regards,

Charlie

Edit: added image of surviving Fabry mortar. If my ident is right the Schneider must have been about the earliest

example of a mortar carrier.

I know what this is,  but I can't remember. I'll dig it out.

I am not sure about the time this prototype was built.

You know,the British also has a Mark IV Tadpole Tail with a 6-inch mortar.

Photo appears in Jeudy (Chars de France, p39):

"Some of the worn-out Schneiders had their armour removed so as to be used for the task of transporting support material, such as this Fabry 150mm mortar, or carrying broken-down engines."
