In WW1, many US Army units were issued with French limbers, caissons, and Fourgon wagons in place of the US M1918 Limbers and Caisson and Escort Wagons. The text from the 113th Field Artillery unit history tells this story on page 51:

I have some information on the French Fourgon mle/1887 Wagon (figure 93) at this link: http://www.lovettartillery.com/French_A ... _WW1_.html

And the French Fourgon Wagon mle/1874 (Figure 39 ) at this link: https://books.google.com/books?id=dVUYA ... 87&f=false

I am interested to see if there is more information on the French Fourgon Wagon, especially good photos of these wagons in French and US service in WW1.
