heavy ordnance field repair---1917

I have watched the clip again and thought how lucky are those workers compared to other guys rotting and massacred in the trenches...
 
There is an article in American Machinist from the end of the war (I) about a repair depot that America set up to support heavy weapon repairs when they (we) entered the war. It was a major machine shop that could practically build guns from scratch. One thing they had to do was re-line gun barrels after so many shoot.
