At first glance it looks like a 25 pounder but it is a captured Italian field gun of Scoda ancestry if I don't miss my guess. Note the horizontal sliding wedge breech block and the arc shaped bits on the top shield flap. The spider type hubs are also an indicator of European vice Albion birth.

I'll grab one of my source books tonight and see if I can get you a better description.

Chimo! My friend. Hope all is well where-ever the CF sends you!
Here's a wild ass guess from a non-Arty type. Could this be a French Canon de 105 court mle 1935 B made by Schneider? The Germans used those as the 10.5-cm leFH 325(f) for 2nd line occupation units as well as coastal and beach defence. If this picture was taken in Algiers for instance, the French connection might make sense. Another clue, the wheels appeared to be toeing in slightly, something the mle 1935 B was known for to provide additional cover for the gun crew. Wadya think?
