AUSTRIAN MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY IN BOSNIA. 
31 
in the Paris Exhibition of 1867. Neither in Bosnia nor in Abyssinia 
does a case seem to be recorded in which a mountain battery used its 
wheels for transport. Thus a mule per subdivision (in our service) 
would be saved, and the column correspondingly shortened. We have 
now the most powerful mountain gun in Europe; why should not our 
organisation and materiel be also improved; and our mountain batteries; 
which we recently have seen so magnificently handled at the Peiwar 
Kotal and elsewhere; be made as much patterns of organisation and 
equipment as their personnel are models of all soldierlike qualities ? 
Woolwich, 
October, 1879.
