The Saint-Chamond-Mondragón 75mm gun was specified in the 1890s by Mexican General Manuel Mondragón, designed mostly by Colonel Émile Rimailho, and produced by the French arms manufacturer ''Saint-Chamond''. It was widely used by different forces during the Mexican Revolution.〔Jowett - 'The Mexican Revolution, 1910-20', pp 16-18.〕 It was also used in modified form to arm some of the French Saint-Chamond tanks deployed during the First World War. Israel purchased a number of pieces from Mexico in 1948〔Givati - 'The Armor Craftsmen', p 55.〕 and used them in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. Because of its Mexican origin, the gun was known in Israel as Cucaracha. Three surviving pieces are on display in Israeli museums: two in the Israel Defense Forces History Museum in Tel Aviv, and one in Beyt ha-Gdudim museum in moshav Avihayil.
