Tell a lie Tony there is actually an ammuntion limber and an ammunition carriage in the picture,I've just looked in my WWI 18 pdr manual :readbook: and there is three types of ammuntion transport, which are; Limber Carriage Limber Wagon Ammunition Wagon All slightly different. :confused: Rob.....................rnixartillery.

rnixartillery Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 There would be a gun behind the limber Carriage drawn, and then the ammunition wagon behind the limber wagon drawn.
