Polish 120mm gun wz.1878/10/31 (distinguished from the wz.1878/09/31 by the gun shield being between the wheels as opposed to the ‘09’ extending to cover the wheels) with the C4P half track gun tractor.
They were modernised versions of the French heavy 120 mm field guns Materiel de 120 Long Mle 1878, known in Poland as armata wz. 1878 (1878 Pattern cannon).
The main modification was the barrels being fitted onto captured Russian 152 mm howitzers M1909 and, in a smaller number, M1910 (hence the slightly different nomenclature)
