caption_attribution_description: Soviet 122 mm howitzer Model 1909-1937, displayed in Hämeenlinna Artillery Museum. The Model 1909 howitzer was based on a German Krupp design. They were produced in Imperial Russia and then in the Soviet Union. As was typical for most World War I artillery pieces, the gun was modernised from 1937 onwards, the resulting guns called Model 09-37. Photo taken on June 18, 2006. Source: Photo by me, User:Balcer.
context_page_description: The 122 mm howitzer M1909 was a Russian Empire 121.92 mm howitzer used throughout World War I.
  Following the defeats of the Russo-Japanese War, Russia sought to modernize some of its equipment, which included the purchase of foreign designed artillery. Seeking new systems from both France and Germany, the 122 mm howitzer M1909 was developed by the German arms manufacturer Krupp. Russia also bought a very similar system from the French arms manufacturer Schneider et Cie, the 122 mm howitzer M1910.
  It was later updated by the Soviet Union as the 122 mm howitzer M1909/37 which saw combat in the German-Soviet War.
