rapt

'transported' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'gunners with little point' is the wordplay.
'gunners' becomes 'RA' (Royal Artillery).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'little point' becomes 'pt' (abbreviation for point. I am not sure about the 'little' bit.).
'ra'+'pt'='RAPT'

'by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rapt that I've seen before include "Fascinated in part" , "Taken up entirely" , "riveted" , "Ecstatic - engrossed" , "Held spellbound" .)
