One of the most numerous and important weapons in the inventory of the Fußartillerie (foot artillery) was the Model 1910 21cm Mörser (commonly known to the troops as "Der Mörser"). When the war began in 1914, the German army could deploy 216 of these large howitzers. Due to the large projectile and the impressive range, these howitzers quickly became the standard indirect-fire weapon. As with many large-caliber guns of the era, the 21cm Mörser had to be towed by motor transport in two loads because of its weight. In this photo a crew of a 21cm Mörser 10 poses with the early short 2.57 m (8 ft 5 in) L/12 barrel next to their Mörser. The 114 kg (252 lbs) high-explosive projectile is in the loading trough that was manually hoisted up to the same level as the chamber when the barrel was leveled.
21cm Mörser 10/16 specifications:
Weight - 7.02 metric tons (15,496 lbs)
Range - 9.40 km (5.84 miles)
Manufacturer - Krupp
Barrel length - 2.13 meters (7 feet)
Projectile - 114 kg (252 lbs) High explosive
