Summary edit

Description
English: Caption: "Although big mobile guns have revolutionized modern warfare and rendered fortresses obsolete, they have not entirely usurped the place of light artillery. Despite the horse power of the largest and most powerful tractors and automobiles, it is not feasible and possible to move the heavy cannons everywhere that the lighter batteries, drawn by horse, can go. The photograph shows a battery of Russian field guns being swirles across a shallow stream at a ford. Some of the small calibre batteries can cover as much ground in a day as a platoon of cavalry."
