Edward Cotton1854年写的A voice from Waterloo: a history of the battle fought on the 18th June, 1815里面倒是提到因为火门接近融化,英军炮兵军官们把纸塞进火门里面防止引线掉落的事情。
At this period of the action, many of our guns stood abandoned in position : some rendered useless by the enemy's fire, others had the muzzles bent down from the excessive heat, some were left for want of materials to load them; many touch-holes melted away, when officers were seen applying paper with a small hole in which to place the fuze, and thus prevent its dropping into the touch-hole. |
