CEFSG Member McTague provided this
information:
As interest in
C.F.A. units builds, good explanation of the hardware and
ancillary equipment might be of help. The 18 pounder and the
4.5 inch Howitzer were the guns in the field with the
divisions each having a complement of six to eight horses and
attendant drivers.
