THE trench mortar fires its missiles |
so that they fall almost vertically
into the op-
posite trench;
the hand gre-
nade follows
a similar
course.
Shrapnel is
timed to ex-
plode so that
its bullets
spray the
ground below
like rain.
Now you un-
derstand
why a trench
cover is em-
ployed on the
Western
front, consist-
ing of a slop-
ing wooden
framework on which is stretched a
screen of wire netting. The object is
to deflect the grenades and small shells
which would otherwise explode in the
trench. By deflecting the fragments of
exploding missiles the screen acts as
a shelter.
