Two Cannon, Two Limbers, and the Marker
Photographer: Tom Fuchs
Taken: June 10, 2006
Caption: Two Cannon, Two Limbers, and the Marker
Additional Description: Limbers are two-wheeled ammunition carriages. During transport they are hooked to the two-wheeled carriage holding the cannon, forming a four-wheel cart that pivots between the axles, with the cannoneers using the ammunition chest as a seat. Limbers can also haul caissons (not shown) instead of cannon. Caissons hold additional ammunition chests.
