Frequently we constructed camouflage

their batteries. The boche gunncrs would
get the range of the spot covered by
the fake camouflage. and they would

TRENCH TALK

fContWhcd FROM lcStcrduU
DOUGHBOI. The cavalryman's
name for an infantryman.
DUCKBOARDS. Planks which are
laid along the bottom of a muddy
trench to give solid footing. Usu-
ally two boards are laid down, with
crosspieces nailed on, and this SIM
pie eXpedient has made it possi-
BILE to live in trenches which would
otherwise be nothing but mud
DUGOUT. A cave excavated in the
ground and protected above by
sandbags, steel plates. etc, used by
, officers and by men in the trenches
to protect them from shellfire. In
the trenches it is commonly known
as "funkhole."
ENTANGLEMENTS Barbed wire
strung on steel posts driven in the
ground outside trench for dep;h
of some ten to forty yards to make
it harder for the other fellow to
get at the men in the trenches.
Before an attack this wire is blast
ed away by a barrage of high
explosive shells.
FAC. The soldiers name for Gig
arctic, often u scarce article in
the trenches and the first thing the

FIRING DATA. The instructions as
shells to be used, etc, given to the
commander of battery of artil-
lery
FLARE. A white rocket sent up at
night which Eliminates the ground
in front. 1t is the bane of night
raiding parties, who are taught
that If they stand absolutely still

movement, however, brings a blast
of fire from the machine guns of
the enemy, which is apt to prove
fatal.
FRANC. A piece of French money
worth about twenty cents of Amer
lean coin.
FRENCH go" The wonderful lit
tie French field piece which has

poilu calls this piece the Little

that might attract attention. SO he sat
