speed=The 10.5 cm Howitzer Model 1924 was a howitzer used by the Netherlands during World War II. Fourteen were bought by the Royal Dutch East Indies Army where they equipped the 1st Howitzer Artillery Battalion from 1924-5. It is unknown if the Japanese used them after conquering the Dutch East Indies in 1942.
This weapon was designed for motor traction with rubber-rimmed steel wheels. Maximum towing speed was only 30 kph (18.6 mph). It had a firing platform that gave it 360° traverse. On mount traverse was only 8° 30'.
