Example: In order that the reader may appreciate what a ruined blindage looked like and with what horrors its destruction was attended, the following report of Sapper Peter Oleinik, of the Kwantung Sapper Company, is published in full: 2. A deep dugout, often equipped with bunks and other fittings. Example: There literally was left no space to step foot in the whole blindage: it was so choked with soldiers up to the very entrance. Example: The key unit of life here is the dugout – what the soldiers call a ‘blindage’ – an underground burrow where half a dozen men share the narrow space between the bunks with weapons, ammunition, biscuits, tea bags, and a jumble of other essentials (there is also usually a cat, not to mention the mice). 3. A final layer of material such as sand or road scrapings that is spread to fill in any small gaps in the road surface and soak up any wet spots. Example: Surveyors differ in opinion, some use 10 per cent. of the screenings from the machine as blindage; the writer has tried these, but prefers the road scrapings. Example: Blindage is required to finish off the surface of the metal coating by filling up any interstices which may remain after it is consolidated.
