Album Info:
One example of the adaptive uses of artillery equipment is the funeral caisson. Designed for carrying two limber chests of ammunition, the caisson is modified with the addition of a platform with rollers for carrying a casket. This caisson was used at the United State Military Academy at West Point to carry many fallen soldiers, veterans, and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
