Thanks to the research done by Mrs Verity Majumdar, we are able to set out below a set of unique images of a Mule-Pack Battery in training - in this case, 452 Battery at Aviemore, Scotland, in 1942. The images are self-explanatory and present a detailed view of the men, animals, specialist harness and the 3.7 Howitzers being put through their paces.
