The
Canon d'Infantrie de 37 modele 1916 TRP (
37mm mle.1916) was a
French infantry support gun, first used during
World War I. In
1940, the
Wehrmacht began using these as
3.7cm IG 152(f). During the First World War, the
US acquired a number of these guns, which they designated
37mm M1916; however, by
1941 the
US Army had put these into storage (or scrapped them). The Japanese
Type 11 was based on this design. For
transport, this weapon could be broken down into 3 sections. In addition, wheels could be attached for towing. These guns were sometimes equipped with an
armoured shield.
