One of the most numerous and important weapons in the Fußartillerie (foot artillery) inventory was the Model 1910 21cm Mörser (to the troops commonly known as the "Der Mörser"). When the war began in 1914, the German Army could deploy 216 of these large howitzers. Due to the large projectile and impressive range, these howitzers quickly became the standard indirect fire weapon. Like many large-caliber weapons of the time, 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 sits in the loading tray that was manually hoisted to the same height as the chamber when the barrel was leveled.
