RUSSIAN FIELD ARTILLERY.

TRANSLATORS PREFACE. 
The original of this article was translated by a Spanish Artillery Officer, and 
published in the excellent artillery journal of that country, the “ Memorial de 
Artillena ” for April and May, 1880 . 
The Introduction, which is written by the first translator, fully explains the 
purport of the article; the foot-notes also are by him, and principally draw attention 
to parallel cases in the late Civil War in Spain. 
This was evidently written more especially for the benefit of artillery officers, but, 
it must, I think, be of general interest to all arms of the service, as a simply told 
story of some of the events of a war we do not know very much about, more 
particularly as regards such minor details as are here treated of.
