It was manufactured by the Putilov Factory and the Perm Artillery Factory. It was used on the Eastern Front during World War I and fought in the Polish–Soviet War and the Russian Civil War. Surviving examples were upgraded in the Thirties with a new carriage with pneumatic tires as the 152 mm gaubitsa obr. 1910/30. Finnish weapons were used for training before the Winter War began, but were issued to Heavy Artillery Battalion 4 during the war. During the Continuation War they served with Heavy Artillery Battalion 30 although they were withdrawn relatively quickly because they were worn out and stored until 1966 against future need. When World War I broke out this was the most modern howitzer design that France had available so it was re-barreled in 155 mm in on, the standard French caliber. Schneider later used the M1910 carriage for their Canon de 105 modèle 1913, Canon de 155 L modèle 1877/14, Canon de 155 C modèle 1915, Canon de 155 L modèle 1917 and Canon de 155 L modèle 1918 guns.Heavy Artillery Chamberlain Peter 1975 Arco Gander Terry 14–17 0668038985 New York 2143869 Estonia used the howitzer as railway artillery on an armored train in its Armored Train Regiment.Salo U http://dspace.utlib.ee/dspace/bitstream/10062/1370/24/tekst.pdf Eesti kaitseväe valmisolek sõjaks ja vastupanuvõimalused 1939. aastal University of Tartu 2005 et See also Weapons of comparable role, performance and era 120 mm Armata wz. 78/09/31 : Polish gun which used the carriage of the M1910.
