1794-95: During the campaign in Flanders and Holland against the French Revolutionary army, men of the Royal Artillery served the field guns which were attached to each infantry battalion. During the winter of 1794-95 the British Army suffered almost unprecedented hardships in an inhospitable country during the coldest weather there had been for many years. Here a 5½ inch howitzer is being brought into action.
