Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: November 11, 2008
Caption: Gunner's View from the Right Side Napoleon
Additional Description: Looking down the barrel of the "rifled" Napoleon with Wheatfield Road weaving through the center of view. The road crosses Plum Run at the bridge just left of center. In the distant left are monuments for the Pennsylvania Reserves on the east side of the Wheatfield. The "rifled" Napoleon was part of an experimental batch and was not used in combat. Note however the holes at the breech for James type gun sights. Those are unique to the rifled guns and not seen on any other Napoleons.
