Impression that the gun is firing from

The originator Of the ruse and the
other two gunners had Fritz's location
taped to the minute; they mounted
their two guns, and also gave me the
range. The next afternoon was set for
the grand finale.
Our three guns. with different eleva-

Fritz's gun suddenly stopped in the

firing two belts each, to make sure OF
our Job, we hurriedly dismounted our
guns and took cover In the dugout. We
knew what to expect soon. We didn't
have to wait long, three salvos OF
t"whizz-bangs" came over from Fritz's
artillery, a further confirmation that
we had.sent that musical machine-gun-
ner on his Westward-bound journey.
That gun never bothered us again.
We were the heroes OF the battalion,
our captain congratulated us. said 1t
was a neat piece Of work, and. conse-
quently, we were all puffed up over the
stunt.
There are several ways Tommy uses
to disguise the location Of his machine
gun ana get MS range. SOiuc VI tdo
most commonly used stunts are as fol.
lows:
At night, when he mounts his gun
over the top Of his trench and wants
to get the range of Fritz's trench he
adopts the method of what he terms
getting the sparks" This consists OF
firing bursts from his gun until the
bullets hit the German barbed wire,
He can tell when they are cutting the
wire, because a bullet when 1T hits q
wire throws out blue electric spark
!Machine-gun fire is very damaging to
wire and causes many wiring party
to go out at night when 1t Is quiet to
repair the damage.
To disguise the flare Of his gun al
night when firing, Tommy uses what is
called fare protector. This is stove
pipe arrangement which fits over the
barrel casing of the gun and screens
the sparks from the right and left, but
not from the front. So Tommy. always
resourceful, adopts this scheme: About
three feet or less In front OF the gun he
