N.B.—After deducting the shrapnel that was carried in the portable 
magazine each sub-division had left 71 shrapnel. This 71st 
round, in the case of the even sub-divisions, was carried by the 
8th ammunition animal of the odd sub-divisions. 
Transport was likewise told off; first into sections and subsequently 
into sub-divisions by section commanders. In this way each No. 1 
knew his own animals, had them under his own care, and it was to his, 
and his sub-division’s, advantage that they should be well looked 
after and ready for any emergency. 
Noticeable Points. 
(i) . 12 tall men are essential in each detachment. The gun 
when carried over the wheel is a heavy dead lift for 8 
men, and the gun-carriage when being mounted must be 
lifted shoulder high by tall men, otherwise it will not 
clear the cradle. 
(ii) . Care must be taken that the cradles are put on quite 
straight, and that the ropes girthing up the elephants 
are well pulled tight ; if these points are not attended to 
a serious accident may result. Girthing up of all pack 
animals should be as carefully attended to. 
(iii) . Ammunition boxes and loads generally, should be put on 
both sides simultaneously. This applies equally when 
putting the wheels on to elephants.
