Sometimes it may be possible to secure a short length of rail. way track a lint that can be transported in sections and laid down as required. Then the matter is simple, the hell can be unloaded from the "lorries into the Dght tracks that run upon the railway close up to the guns. But railway track is required for muny other purposes, and the large majority of Batteries are not Ferienate enough to obtain it. Of per- haps the position "may be such that the truck cannot be used for idek of cover, for it would be inviting, discovery to lay demos the open where no concealment is possible. There is then ac alternative but to transport the nightly consignment of ammunition by hand from the lorries to the guns, no light matter.. A'shell weighing a hundred pounds is as muuzia
