SHIELDS FOR TROOPS IN wA3.
Their Use Urged by a German Mill
tary Writer,


A writer in the Militar- Wochenblatt
raises anew the question of the use
of portable shields for the protection
OF infantry in the attack, says the
Broad Arrow. He writes approvingly
OF the Japanese spade work in the
offensive, the more so because he
mentions incidentally, as a matter re-
garding which there can be no dis.
pute, that the German authorities
have long since advocated the use of
artificial cover in the attack. and
points out that when the ground was
frozen or rocky, and the spade could
make no impression upon it, the at
lacking Japanese infantry not infre.
quently went forward, carrying with
them filled sandbags weighing as
much as forty pounds. He remarks
that II the undoubtedly brave Japa-
nese soldier found it necessary to
load himself with so bulky and bur.
densome a protection when advancing
IN the open against an intrenched en-
envy 1t would seem far better to equip
the infantry with light, handy shield.
Furnished with a handle by which
to carry 1t, loophole to fire through
and some arrangement to prevent it's
falling down, the infantryman would
then find himself, like his gunner
comrade, protected by bullet-proof
shield. The writer in the Wochenblatt
suggests that on the march the shield
should be carried on the back, when
going into action on the chest, and
when advancing to the attack in the
left hand, so as to be at once available
for use when lying down to fire, both
as head cover and rifle rest.
