The 120 mm Krupp howitzer M1905 was a howitzer used by Turkey, Japan and a few smaller armies including during World War I. After the Ottoman Empires entrance into World War I in 1914 on the side of the Central Powers, it realized that it needed to modernize its artillery. The Model 1905 was a "stock gun" from Krupp that could be supplied to customers from parts on hand, on short notice and with minor alterations to suit the customers' needs. The Model 1905 was a conventional artillery piece for its time, except for a lack of a Gun shield for the crew. The lack of a Gun shield was not a major liability, as most artillery quickly moved into concealed positions after the first few months of war.

- De 120 mm Krupp M1905 was een Duitse houwitser, gebruikt door Turkije, Japan en ook een paar kleinere legers tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Na de deelname van het Ottomaanse Rijk (Turkije) aan de oorlog aan de kant van de Centrale Mogendheden, beseften de Turken dat het nodig was om hun artillerie te moderniseren. De M1905 bood uitkomst. Het was een houwitser waarvan de Duitse wapenfabrikant Krupp nog velen in voorraad had; ze konden snel aangepast worden aan de wensen van een bepaald land. De M1905 was in die tijd een conventioneel stuk artillerie, maar had geen kanonschild waarmee de artilleristen kwetsbaar waren voor geweervuur. (nl)
