The Canon d'Infantrie de 37 mle 1916 TRP was a French infantry support gun, first used during World War I. In 1940, the Wehrmacht began using these as 3.7cm IG 152(f). During the First World War, the US acquired a number of these guns, which they designated 37mm M1916; however, by 1941 the US Army had put these into storage (or scrapped them). The Japanese Type 11 was based on this design.
