Well it is a mystery to me and however much I search my many books on French Napoleonic Artillery, every modeller's on line catalogue etc, this is the only image I can find. The label does notwithstand enlarging alas. Please put me out of my misery some kind soul.

This is a Gribeauval wagon built to carry 250 pioneer tools or five tons of powder. It could also take a coffer at the front to carry spare parts for the division's vehicles. There would be a number of such wagons with each horse artillery unit. |

Il s'agit d'un fourgon à munitions. Les munitions sont transportées de leur lieu de fabrication vers le parc de l'armée en campagne dans ces fourgons (convoyés par le train des équipages).
Les munitions sont en vrac. Au parc, les munitions sont conditionnées et mises dans des caissons d'artillerie (convoyés par le train d'artillerie).
Puis distribuées aux différentes unités. Les fourgons ne sont pas étanches, les caissons sont étanches aux intempéries. |
