ON THE INTERIOR MANAGEMENT OF A BATTERY.
General remarks.
1. In a defensive position, the guns of the largest calibre should be
posted on the weakest points of the line, and on those from whence
the enemy can be discovered at the greatest distance. Those
heights on which the enemy in advancing may rest his flanks, and
those from whence he may be fired upon obliquely, must also be
occupied by the largest calibres.
2. In an offensive position, the guns of the heaviest calibre should
be placed in such situations as will render them available, without
difficulty, for any operations in advance. In heavy ground, a nine or
twelve pounder battery, when coming into action, should reverse,
when it will be only necessary to drop the trail, instead of carrying it
round by hand.
3. The guns should be placed as much as possible under cover;
this is easily done on heights, by keeping them so far back that the
muzzles are only to be seen over them. By proper attention,
advantage may be taken of many situations, such as banks, ditches,
&c.
4. Artillery in the field should be concealed from the enemy till the
very moment it is to open; the guns may be masked by being a little
retired, or by being covered with troops, particularly by cavalry.
Ammunition waggons.
5. No positive rule can be laid down for all cases, with respect to
the ammunition waggons in presence of an enemy: this must depend
on a variety of circumstances; but in general it will be found
expedient to place them under charge of an officer, who will conform
to the movements of the main body, in such a manner and at such
distance, as to enable him to supply the guns with ammunition,
before that which is in the limbers is expended.
6. The spot selected for a battery should be one which does not
present any obstacles to the ulterior movements.
7. The most elevated situations are not the best; the greatest
effect may be produced at a distance of six hundred yards, from a
height of thirty or forty yards; and at two hundred yards distance from
a height of sixteen.
8. Round shot should be used from three hundred yards, upwards.
The use of case should begin at three hundred, and the quickness of
fire increase as the range diminishes.
9. Double charges of case may be used at one hundred and fifty
or one hundred and sixty yards. Shrapnell shells should not be used
at a less range than six hundred and fifty yards.
10. The guns should never be abandoned till the last extremity; the
last discharges are the most destructive.
On the march.
1. Intelligent non-commissioned officers should be sent to
reconnoitre a road or ground that artillery is to pass over, and, when
necessary, to report the state of it. When the march is connected
with military operations, an officer should always be employed for
this duty.
2. The officers of divisions should frequently halt, to see that their
carriages are marching in proper order, and are well up.
3. The strictest attention should constantly be paid to the correct
preservation of distances, the loss of which may be made up by
small bodies of artillery; but when in large bodies, or when acting
with infantry, the operation is attended with serious disadvantage,
particularly to the latter; it is a point, therefore, which cannot be too
strongly insisted upon, being one of most essential consequence.
Advanced Guard.
4. A battery marching by itself should always have an advanced
guard. In a narrow road it should be considerably in front, to stop all
carriages which might cause obstruction. In a hilly road, it should
reconnoitre the top of every hill, and see that it is all clear before the
guns come up.
5. Parties should always be sent out on each flank.
6. When an accident happens to a carriage, either on the march,
or manœuvring, those in its rear should pass it on the most
convenient flank, and fill up its interval. It will resume its place as
soon as the damage is repaired. A waggon belonging to a disabled
gun should always remain with it; but a gun must not wait for its
disabled waggon, but leave only a sufficient number of men to put it
into a proper state.
Crossing fords.
1. Artillery can cross a river about three and a half feet deep,
though much depends on the strength of the current. The
ammunition boxes are so well made that the water will seldom
penetrate through them, particularly if the river be narrow, and the
guns pass quickly. The canvas cartouches afford additional
protection, and they may be taken out if necessary.
2. When the water is deep, and the current strong, great attention
must be paid in fording. The person conducting the column over a
direct ford, should keep his eye steadily on an object on the opposite
bank, which points out where the ford is: he must never look at the
stream, which would deceive him, and would appear to carry him
down, and he would endeavour to keep too high up the stream, and
miss the ford.
3. All those in the rear should keep their eyes on those in front;
every individual should wade rather against the stream, in order to
resist its power.
4. Troops should always cross a ford with the largest possible
front, for the same reason.
5. If the ford is not well known, and there is no guide, it should be
previously examined, and the dangerous places marked. In fording,
the horses should neither be allowed to trot, halt, or drink.
