This week Jonathan takes a look at one of the smallest artillery pieces in the Royal Armouries collection: the Austro-Hungarian 3.7cm M15 Mountain Gun.
Designed by Škoda during the First World War, this remarkably compact artillery piece was intended for mountain warfare but quickly found a role in the trenches.
