I have been using this term in the last several posts.
It is a French word meaning a raised platform involving the practice of firing a cannon over the parapet of a fort instead of a lower gun embrasure.
If you see cannons mounted on top of a fort's parapets, they would be mounted en barbette.
--Brock-Perry
2012 marks the 200th anniversary of America's "Forgotten War," the War of 1812 that took place over three years, 1812 to 1815.
Battle of New Orleans.
