BOER LAAGERS
Seap Defenses Formed from wagons
Placed Axle to Axle with Poles
Outward.

In South Africa, whenever travellers
ssutspan" for the night, they inva-
Slably form the wagons into defens-
Ne work called lager. Provided
tAere are enough wagons, this is either
square or oblong, the latter shape be-
ing preferred. When each OK is al
bowed SO square feet the smallest
hager that will hold the oxen is that
formed by 90 wagons. These are
formed in single rank in hollow
square, touching, and with their poles
outward. This renders the impro-
vised protection easily removed when
the order to ''inspan' is given. Each
wheel should be locked and fastened
securely to its neighbor, 10 prevent an
enemy from dragging out one of the
wagons and thus gaining access to the
square. Every human being and an
imal must be within the inclosure be-
fsre dark, or they may run serious
risk from being fired upon by their
own friends. II time permits a shelter
trench should be dug all around the
lager, so that, with men lying in them.
the others posted on the wagons, a
double tier of infantry fire may be
maintained.
