Continental Artiglieria at Williamsburg Virginia

Artiglieria (Continentale) Americana drilling at Williamsburg, Virginia. Artiglieria americana della guerra di indipendenza americana, 1775 to 1783, initially used outdated artiglieria pieces con iron barrels e some captured cannone britannici con lighter bronze barrels. The wooden parts of affusti d’artiglieria were painted red, green, yellow, o blue, o only varnished to protect the wood. Il colore degli affusti d’artiglieria apparently depended on the availability of suitable paints e stains. In later years, Francia supplied artiglieria pieces which were already painted green d’artiglieria francese, a medium olive green mixed from ochre e black.
