A gun carriage is a frame or a mount that supports the gun barrel of an artillery piece, allowing it to be maneuvered and fired. These platforms often had wheels so that the artillery pieces could be moved more easily.[1] Gun carriages are also used on ships to facilitate the movement and aiming of large cannons and guns.[2] These are also used in the funeral procession of any higher authority of any state and country.[3]
