What exactly is a"Timpanis Chariot of the Artillery Regiment" > It appears to be a decoration and not truly a "weapon" of war. If is a "decoration" with what Russian unit would it be assigned and was there more than one? Thanks |

An ornate kettle drum carriage often flying the regiment's banner. Have seen it associated with the 1st Artillery Regiment. Used for parades and such. |

"Morning Scout" thank you very much! I saw one displayed behind a Russian battery. But was not sure as to its purpose! Thanks again! |

What was its purpose? Did it actually go into the field? |

Kettle drum wagons were not used in the field, but rather, for parades only. The Russian version allegedly includes barrels from Prussian cannons that they captured at Kunersdorf. |

Thanks. It looks like a "parade ground only" piece to me. |
