George Blackburn was in a different unit he was a FOO of 2nd CDN Infantry division and its intergal artillery the 4th Field Regiment equipped 25pdrs . Whereas Pierre Sévigny was a FOO for the 4th Medium regiment which was armed with 5.5" howitzers and numbered 16 guns. 4th Medium was part of 2nd Canadian AGRA. These total count of guns that Sevigny could have brought to targets would number more tubes then 16 as FOO's could call on other regiments to assist with fire. From the above account Sevigny mentions 16 tubes so that would be his total number in 4th Medium Regt.
