I had previously provided information the artillery park of #Tobruk fortress in November 1941. Captured guns were already in use, being turned on their former, Italian owners. @SilenceInPolish @Hutch_and_Sons @lukas_visek @KresySiberia @polishodyssey https://crusaderproject.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/artillery-order-of-battle-tobruk-fortress-5-november-1941/
I had also provided information on the order of battle of Italian XXI. Corpo Armata, which was an artillery heavy siege corps. Many captured Italian guns formerly belonged to its units. @sommecourt @NavalHistWar @mike_bechthold @FPozzar @MikiAV8BHarrier https://crusaderproject.wordpress.com/2013/11/04/one-for-the-wargamers-oob-of-italian-21-army-corps/
There is also a long article on the artillery order of battle in the medium category of Eighth Army. https://crusaderproject.wordpress.com/2011/06/15/8th-army-medium-artillery-stats-12-february-1942/
Captured 47mm 'Elefantino' AT guns continued in service with @1UKDivision and the @armeedeterre #FreeFrench forces until at least April 1942, and most likely beyond, being used in the Gazala line. https://crusaderproject.wordpress.com/2011/06/10/artillery-units-and-gun-numbers-in-uk-1-armoured-division-8-april-1942/
Finally, both the Axis and the Empire forces ended up using a French-designed Schneider medium gun, the Canon de 155 mle 1917 Schneider C in the campaign of 1942 (the German forces received there's from Tunisia in November 1941). https://crusaderproject.wordpress.com/2011/02/23/french-155mm-schneider-guns-revisited/
