German Howitzer
A German 21cm Howitzer in action on the Romanian Front, as Central Power forces advance towards the Sereth (Siret) River. Romania entered the war in August 1916 on the side of the Allies and were initially supported by Russian forces. With their withdrawal following the Bolshevik Revolution and subsequent signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Romania was left isolated and ultimately had no choice but to sign an armistice with the Germans in December 1917
