This artist does fine work, and this is a great picture of Lord Percy's howitzers, artillery crew, and the ammunition wagons.

I stopped at the Patton Museum today at Ft. Knox. They had a British 6 pounder in the lobby. This is the same size as the cannons Percy had with him. Of course, I had to open the side boxes to see if there were cannonballs inside. Although empty, you can see that each side box held only 4 rounds.

Ditto, I wasn't sure what a real one looked like. Some how I thought the side boxes held six rounds.
