Manhandling...great fun in the mud...
Never ever having been a "Redleg"so I never manhandled artillery pieces (except pack howitzers)... why do the 2 guys on the barrel look like they are working against each other?
BEAR (BDY)
Weight on the barrel to lift the trail to be able to swing the gun around. Probably to align the trail to hook up the towing vehicle.
I think they're just trying to get it moving.Quote:

Yes, they are pushing down to raise the rear out of the mud.
I would move the truck to the gun
They would probably too. There must have been some reason for all that sweat.:wave:
I think they're limbering it up instead of ceasing fire. The trails are long and you can't back too close...anyway...Quote:
