To start out with the lead section doesn't summarize the article enough. I believe it goes into to much detail for a lead section, some of the information could be moved to the content paragraphs. Overall, the leading section could use some more work. The main content of this article is helpful. It goes into enough detail about the artillery and when and where it was used. It also gives some history on the battery E Artillery weapon. The content is up to date and useful. It gives the information in a neutral point of view. The sources could be diversified a bit more a lot of information is coming from the same book. Their also could be a few more photos, as of now their is only one. There is no discussions on the article in the talking page. Overall, if I had to rate this article I would give it a 2.5 out of 5. It has good information but needs to be more appealing to the reader and make it more visual appealing to read.
