    Not A Fan Of Loading And Shooting The Artillery Pieces? The Artillery Guard Is For You!


    You May Be Asking, What Is Artillery Guard?
    Artillery Guard Will Be A Detachment Of The Artillery, When Not In Use Will Be Helping Transporting Guns and Loading. If The Battery Becomes Attacked These Are The First Line Of Defence. As The Battery Limbers Up And Pulls Back, These Men Will Go To The Front And Hold The Line Untill Either The Line Is Defeated Or The Artillery Pulls Back Safely.
