What was the size of the gun crew for the following weapons? I found one reference that the 7.7 cm FeldKanone had a 5-man crew, but I would like to confirm that.

7.7 cm FeldKanone 96 n/A

10.5 cm leichte FeldHaubitze 98/09

According to the Exerzier-Reglement für die Feldartillerie of 26 March 1907, the crew of a German field piece, whether field gun or light field howitzer, consisted of a Geschützführer (chief of the piece) and five Kanoniere.

Thanks for the information. Did this continue until 1918?
