The _Battalion Guns_ include all the light pieces attached to regiments of the line, which they accompany in all manœuvres, to cover and support them. The following natures of field ordnance are attached to battalions of infantry, by different powers in Europe: French two 4 Prs. per battalion. English two 6 ” ” ” Danes two 3 ” ” ” Austrians three 6 ” ” ” Prussians two 6 Prs. to a battalion in the first line. ” two 3 Prs. to a battalion in the second line. Hanoverians two 3 Prs. per battalion.
