Are you guys making this stuff up? The statement - "The 1904TR was supplemented from 1915-1918 by the Canon de 155 C modèle 1915 St. Chamond and the 1904TR was replaced after 1917 by the Canon de 155 C modèle 1917 Schneider." cannot be true. In "Les Canons de la Victoire 1914-1918 Tome 1 L'Artillerie de Campagne" (Touzin & Vauvillier) p.59 say "Un premier marche de 112 ex. est passe en octobre 1915, et la premiere batterie presentee en recette en avril 1916, plusiers mois avant son concurrent Saint-Chamond." [A first order of 112 examples was made in October 1915, and the first battery presented for acceptance in April 1916, several months before its competitor Saint-Chamond] It's also noted in the same text that the Saint-Chamond production was delayed and service introduction did not occur until the Autumn of 1916. Nowhere is it mentioned that the French Army also Charlie Landships (talk) 04:01, 14 March 2021 (UTC)received a number of batteries of British BL 6inch 26cwt howitzers but I don't have a timeline on these.
