what I want to know . . .

[ritaxis]

I want a nonfiction description of the work of gunners using large artillery. I want a blow-by-bulow description of hsetting up, handling ammunition, firing, all the things that have to be done in the course of operation, cleaning, maintenance, etc. What do I find on wikipedia?

specs.  Nothing but specs.  And lots of words, but nothing about the work of the men operating the things. It's all so abstract.

Well it may not quite as detailed you'd like, you might want to try this episode (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x84uzzVynY8) of Lock 'n Load which at least shows you all the details of loading up the weapons (along with, inevitably, stats).
