| Summary | "Handbook for Light Artillery" by A. B. Dyer is a military manual written in the late 19th century. This publication serves as a practical guide for officers and personnel involved with light artillery, especially in the U.S. Army and National Guard. The book addresses various aspects of light artillery operation, including details about specific artillery pieces, their construction, and maintenance, as well as the organization of artillery units. The opening of the manual begins with a comprehensive preface where the author outlines his intention to compile existing regulations and insights into a cohesive guide for light artillery. Dyer acknowledges the contributions of other military experts and informs readers about the source materials he has drawn from, which include Army Regulations and other official manuals. Following the preface, the content is laid out in organized sections, starting with descriptions of mountain artillery and various gun mechanisms, emphasizing the technical details crucial for effective artillery management. This foundational exposition sets the stage for practical applications that will be expanded upon in the subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
