In artillery, a non-commissioned officer or enlisted man who was a skilled craftsman or specialist of some kind. A member of an armed forces service who is skilled at working on artillery in the field. These men would have been competent in metal and wood working, as well as repair of artillery wagons, limbers, caissons, wheels, etc. Rather than contract for these services, skilled craftsmen were enlisted to perform these duties.
