artillery buckets
Hi Rob,
The RAAHS here in Perth did up a 15 pounder over 20 years ago plus several other German "Trophy Guns". The German guns, research I did, used to have ropes and implements that hung from the axle, some times attached to the limber. I recall a discussion about water buckets which were used by Artillery men since forever. Buckets, sponges and mop brushes were used to clean the barrel internals with water. Even practised in the times of the 25pr as Cordite was very corrosive and water was poured down the barrel soon after firing. Not a pleasant job. Nice bucket!
