Description
During

preparatory
to
arriving
on
Guadalcanal
,
experiments
were
made
to
determine
the
best
method
of
moving

howitzers
without
the
aid
of
prime
movers
.
Reports
from the
fighting
front
indicated
that
motor
transportation
was
scarce
and that
most
of the
movement
of
artillery
had to be
accomplished
by
hand
power
.
Various
tests
were
conducted
to
learn
the
most
feasible
way
of
hauling
guns
up
a
sandy
beach
and
across
country
.
