Whereas the British artillery favoured mechanization, the French had great faith in animals, and the Observer had seen some of the finest horses he had ever seen engaged in this service. Many were "regulars," while others had been pressed into service.

Mr. Dimblebey said that he had watched the famous French "75's" in action and also the somewhat over- shadowed "105's” and “150's.”
The latter were particularly deadly, and he had the good fortune to see them actually in use against German positions,

The B.B.C. Observer and the French officers went forward to an Observation Post set up in a shell- hole of the last war, and focussed their glasses on the wood.
