Destroy each of the vehicles listed below.

Kill 20 mounted players using a tower cannon.

Tips: During a Wintergrasp battle tower cannons are available to both the attacking and defending team.  The attacking players have access to the tower cannons that are on the three southern towers.  The defending team has access to tower cannons located throughout the keep.  There are tower cannons on the keep towers as well as in archways on the inner and outer walls.  The tower cannons have only one attack.  It is a ranged attack that causes aoe damage to nearby players. 

If you are on the attacking team but are attempting to defend the southern towers, you can go to a tower that is being attacked and jump into a tower cannon.  You just click on it to get inside. 

You will probably earn the most kills with tower cannons while you are on the defending team.  If you are on the defending team, you should try to get into one of the outermost tower cannons as quickly as possible.  To get into one of the tower cannons located in the keep's towers you can hover near them on your flying mount before the battle begins.  As soon as the battle begins you just fly in quickly and land on one.  The tower cannons near the front of the keep typically get the most action at the beginning of a battle because this is where the enemy usually starts to gather and  attack.  Continue to shoot your cannon at the enemy until someone destroys your cannon.  If your cannon gets destroyed try to find another one.

Kill 10 players in each of the Wintergrasp areas listed below.

Win 100 battles for Wintergrasp.

Tips: This achievement will likely take much longer than any other battleground achievement that requires you to win 100 battles.   Wintergrasp battles only occur about once every three hours with a battle beginning 2.5 hours after the end of the last one.  There will likely not be more than 8 battles per day.  You can win more than one in a row and you can lose more than one in a row.   Some servers will have an issue in which one faction greatly outnumbers the other and the faction with the fewest players rarely wins a battle.  Be prepared to play well over 100 battles to earn this achievement.  However, the better organized your team is and the more you contribute as a team player, the better your chances are at victory.

You will have to play fairly well from the beginning of the battle to earn this achievement.  it can take several minutes to drive a vehicle to the keep and destroy each of the walls to get to the relic.  You will need to earn a ranking rather quickly and get a vehicle as soon as possible.  It is best to build a demolisher or siege engine to knock down the walls.
