This proportion of ammunition and stores is carried in the following manner:
12 Pr. Medium—Has no limber boxes,[2] but has two waggons attached to it, and the ammunition and stores divided between them.
[2] A small limber box has lately been added to the medium 12 Prs. which carries 6 round shot and 6 case shot, with a small proportion of the small stores. See [note] preceding page.
6 Pr. Heavy—Carries 36 round, and 14 case shot in limber boxes, with a proportion of the small stores; and the remainder is carried in one waggon.
6 Pr. Light—Carries 34 round, and 16 case shot on the limber, with a proportion of the small stores for immediate service; and, if acting separately, must have a waggon attached to it, to carry the remainder. But two 6 pounders attached to a battalion, have only one waggon between them.
5¹⁄₂ Howitzer, Light—Has 22 shells, 4 case shot, and two carcasses in the limber-boxes, with such of the small stores as are required for immediate service; and has two waggons attached to carry the rest.

| 12 | Pr. Medium, | 72 | ||
| 6 | Pr. Heavy, | 120 | ||
| 6 | Pr. Light, | 156 | ||

| 5 | ¹⁄₂ | Howitzer, | 72 | |
| 8 | Inch Howitzers, | 24 | ||

[3] Though the waggons will contain 20,000 cartridges, it is customary to load them with only 18 half barrels of 1000 each, and 2 half barrels of flints.
The waggons, however, attached to the different parks of artillery in England, which have not been altered from the old establishment, are loaded with only the following number, and drawn by three horses:
