The trek

"This gives you a fair idea of the 'trek'. We had 4 guns, & 1 ammunition waggon following each gun. There are 6 horses to each gun & four to each waggon that makes 40. Then we had 2 waggons & a
cart for the baggage which took another 7 horses. Which made 47 draught horses & there were
thirty eight hacks for the officers & specialists. That is signallers, rangefinders, scouts etc. so
altogether we had 85 horses on the road." (written on back of photograph - about 1917)
