Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Instructions for Gunners' Examination in the Field Artillery
In as much as the 3-inch gun battery is the standard type, the instruction as to matériel covered by this handbook has reference to the service of this piece. The instruction per taining to the formation and drill of the gun squads and the firing battery will apply, however, with Obvious modifications to 'gun and howitzer batteries other than the 33-inch.
The pages of this text covering the instruction of Battery Commanders' details and candidates from headquarters and supply companies apply to all Field Artillery organizations.
The specific requirements as laid down in Special Regula tions No. 53 in each of the subjects in which candidates will be examined are printed immediately preceding the text covering the instruction in each subject. It is hoped that by this arrangement of the text the candidate may the more easily keep in mind just what is required of him to qualify as expert gunner, during the period in which he is preparing for his examination.
