ARTILLERY MOBILISATION. 
Nos. 18 and 14 also form tlie cadres on which, the two sections of the 
Ammunition Park of the Field Force for Service Abroad will be formed. 
The Cavalry Division Ammunition Column , as regards personnel, is 
almost the same as-the Corps Troops Ammunition Column, so far as 
Service Abroad is concerned : the only difference being that in the 
former case there are 20 fewer drivers, 11 more riding, and 42 less 
draught horses: the difference in the riding horses is accounted for by 
the fact that in the Cavalry Division Ammunition Column three shoeing- 
smiths are mounted, as against one shoeing-smith mounted in the 
Corps Troops Ammunition Column ; in addition to this, the whole of 
the Corporals and Bombardiers (6 of each rank) are mounted, instead of 
only half the number as in the case of the Corps Troops Ammunition 
Column; there are also three spare riding horses in the Cavalry 
Division Ammunition Column. 
The Field Army Establishments, Service Abroad, make no provision 
for a Cavalry Brigade Ammunition Column, and, on the other hand, 
the Field Army Establishments, Home Defence, make no provision for 
a Cavalry Division Ammunition Column. 
As the formation of a Cavalry Division is a not very probable con¬ 
tingency, and no ammunition columns are actually allotted on the Home 
Defence Mobilisation Tables to provide the cadres for such columns for 
service abroad, it will not be necessary to enter into any further details 
in connection therewith; and we will proceed to examine the consti¬ 
tution of the Cavalry Brigade Ammunition Columns for Home Defence, 
A Cavalry Brigade Ammunition Column.
