Artillery Terms.
All artillery may bo divided into two
main classes, heavy and light Heavy
artillery is called aho garrison artillory.
Heavy artillory guns aro placed permanently
in forts, and tho men whohandlo
them form foot artillery batteries and
regiments. Light artillery refers to
guns not permanently emplacod that
is, light enough to bo taken from placo
to place by means of horsos and maneuvered
by hand. In our army tho
light artillery gunners ride on tho caissons
and gun carriages. In horso artillery
tho gunners rido horses, bo that a
horso artillery battery has a great many
moro horses than a light battory. Wo
havo no horso batteries in our army. A
field battery is a light battory. A flying
battery is a horso battery. Siego guns
aro between heavy nud light artillory.
Thoy aro intended to bo placed permanently
for tho timo boing nnd aro
brought to thoir places by toamB. but
thoy aro not maneuvered as light guns
