what is the origin of the title "smoke" in the field artillery?

Question

i need to find out where the title came from

Answer 1

I believe it had to do with the field medic's interpritation of "life"?

Answer 2

To be honest, I'm not sure what you are asking.

I know that back before Afred Nobel invented smokeless gunpowder troops would literally follow the sound and smoke of gun and cannon fire into battle and that the smoke given off by field artillery was the best place to find out where the fighting was taking place.
