American War of Independence Hessian Artillery
During the American War of Independence, Hesse-Kassel supplied the largest contingent of German auxiliary troops serving with the British army in North America. These forces included artillery as well as infantry and cavalry, and Hessian gunners served in the same European artillery tradition that had been strongly influenced by Prussian practice during the eighteenth century.
The Hf1 light field wagon, Heeresfahrzeug 1 or leichte Heeresfeldwagen, was one of the standard horse-drawn vehicles used by the German army throughout the Second World War. Designed as general-purpose transport almost 20 years earlier, it carried everything from ammunition and equipment to provisions and medical supplies. Drawn by a two-horse team, the Hf1 balanced capacity with mobility, making it well suited for a wide rang...

Dervish Warriors (Colonial).

Early Mahdist forces were drawn from many tribal groups and were far from uniform, but th...
