fv1609 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Is it in relation to some form of sport?:undecided: There are some daft games around, but no this procedure is for warfare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Putting up a tent or building? Sounds as if could be, similar movements required. But this procedure is for troops in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Child Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I quick (very careful:sweat:) look on Wikipedia tells me a Butt is (amongst quite a range of other things :shocked:) a practice target for archery. Is that along the right lines? If so I still can't picture what they are up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Is it the method used when carrying parts of a dismantled gun carriage over rough terrain ? :-D I see what you mean but this isn't the real purpose of this equipment. Some of you may not be aware that I have a modern equivalent of this equipment here. Andy you might have even seen something similar. This may or may not help.

Ok Bernard I know you like to follow things up, I'll post the procedures up but it does seem rather complicated for a straightforward assault with ladders. I'll do some scanning.
