| Abstract: | The men fall in two deep and are told off on the same principle as for field guns, viz. beginning with the lowest numbers, and proceeding to the highest, No. 1 always commanding. The telling off is always to 'begin from the right, 2 is the right hand man of the rear rank, 3 is front rank man, 4 the second rear rank man, 5 his front rank man, and so on. [Excerpt] |
| Description: | The gun illustrated at the end was probably used in the late 1700's and early 1800's. The plan is of the cannon-holding structure. |
