In addition to guns, they had transportation. The WWI tank and WWII halftrack were out for restoration, but they did have a , a command vehicles, an WWI ambulance, a WWI repair truck and a wagon. The stiching was so bad on this panorama, that an entire truck is missing.

The "modern" horse drawn rig is evocative of a conversation I had last night with my kid's coach who was a big horseman. Just thinking about taking horses into a war zone after the advent of automatic weapons gives me a chill. My Dad's Uncles were teamsters in WWI, that couldn't have been a great scene for horses, but then again the Polish Cavalry was still hanging around when the Nazis came through. Of course, Tenneyson described an earlier missuse of horseflesh...

One of the janitors at my High School was a high ranking officer in the Polish Calvary. He was one of three survivors in his group (regiment/brigade?). The horses didn't do any better.

I remember watching movies about WWI with the horses wearing gas masks.
