I started with another SYW Artillery project.
This time it will be the British. I intend to present a number of scale drawings along with some discussion. Hope to identify some of the pieces that have really been fielded apart from the well known light 3 & 6 pounders.
For the start, I think I have identified the piece, David Morier illustrates in one of his well known paintings illustrating the Duke of Cumberland's Army in Flandres 1745-1749.
I was surprized a heavy 6-pounder could arrive at such a massive structure. Before I was convinced Morier had depicted 12-pounders for his painting.
Feel free to have a look at my initial article. More to come. Cheers,
Christian
