Abstract
“THE religious attachment of the officer of A artillery to the practice of his predecessors” was described by Benjamin Robins about 1740, and his attachment persisted with unimpaired devotion right up to the war. There he found himself outclassed at the outset, out-gunned and out-gunnered; the little artillery he took out was small and puny, and not of the right sort required—“pas de celle quil faut.” Our Artillery Authority cannot be said to have understood what it spelt, the word “artillery.”
