QF 15-pounder gun (original) (raw)
The Ordnance QF 15-pounder gun, commonly referred to as the Ehrhardt, was a modern German field gun purchased by Britain in 1900 as a stopgap measure to upgrade its field artillery to modern QF standards, while it developed its own alternative. This was precipitated by the experience of the British Army in South Africa during the Second Boer War, where its standard field gun, the BL 15-pounder, was out-performed by modern French and German field guns deployed by the Boers. It bore no relation to the BL 15-pounder or BLC 15-pounder, two other guns in British service at the time, other than a common shell.

(en) Lo Ordnance QF 15 lb, noto anche come "cannone Ehrhardt", fu un cannone campale da 15 libbre prodotto nel 1901 dalla ditta tedesca Ehrhardt di Düsseldorf ma destinato all'esercito britannico. (it) Armata 15-funtowa (Ordnance QF 15-pdr), brytyjska armata polowa kalibru 3 cale (76,2 mm) z okresu I wojny światowej. W czasie II wojny burskiej ku zaskoczeniu Brytyjczyków burskie republiki Transwal i Orania miała znacznie nowocześniejsze wyposażenia artyleryjskie niż wojska brytyjskie i w wyniku tych doświadczeń w 1901 zamówiono 108 dział tego typu w niemieckich zakładach. Armaty tego typu były używane w początkowym okresie I wojny światowej, ale zostały dość szybko wycofane jako nienadające się do pozycyjnych walk. Część armat została wysłana do Egiptu, gdzie były używane do końca wojny. Angielska nazwa armaty pochodzi od przybliżonej masy pocisku - 14-15 funtów (ok. 6,35 kg). W 1901 także Norwegia zamówiła 108 dział tego typu, ale o kalibrze 75 mm i różniących się szczegółami konstrukcyjnymi od armat brytyjskich, działa te otrzymały oznaczenia 7.5-cm Feltkanon L631 M/01, część z tych armat była w użyciu na początku II wojny światowej i zostały one przejęte przez armię niemiecką, w służbie niemieckiej nosiły oznaczenie 7.5 cm FK246(n).
