Original caption: Each battery of artillery and each squadron of cavalry were provided with a Forge, mounted on heavy wheels, similar to a piece of Artillery. This Forge travelled with the Army, and the Artificer in charge of the Forge attended to shoeing the horses, and repairing the iron-work of the gun-carriages and baggage-wagons. He always had plenty of business, and this view shows him engaged in shoeing the horses.
