In stories and reports Of modern
battles the work of the sappers Is of.
ten mentioned. ITO sap" or "sapping"
was nm early way Of approaching a
strongly fortified position by means OF
a ditch. II was also a very early form
of trench work. The fortified posi-.
tons against which saps were employ
ed were the stone walls of castles or of
cities
When the making of cannon had not
progressed so far that solid shot could
breach stone walls. but when cannon
were powerful enough to keep armed
men ut bay or to destroy them. it be-
came necessary to make an approach
TO the walled position in way which
was difficult To attack successfully and
for which nj that time no way of
checkmating had been thought of by
the defenders. \ narrow ditch was
dug in the direction of the wall to be
assailed. This ditch. which was wide
enough for one man to dig in. was
called sap. the digger n sapper. and
the end of the ditch toward the enemy
was the saphead. AS the leading sap
per dug forward he protected himself
and the saphead in various ways. usu-
ally by pushing screen ahead of him.
This screen was of various forms, a
bag of sand or sheet of metal in
clined to defect arrows or gun shots
When the saphead had reached the
desired point the ditch would be wild
ened. the excavated earth forming a
parapet on each side. and the guns
would be brought SO close to the wall
that they could not be reached by guns
mounted on the wall. for in the times
in which these conditions prevailed
walls were high and cannon crude and
they could not be sufficiently depressed
to reach an enemy at the foot Of the
wall.
Sapping was usually done by peas
ants impressed or hired for that serv-
Ice, because soldiers in the armies of
the middle ages were more skillful
with weapons than with tools and the
work Of digging trenches was beneath
their dignity. while il also savored of
