Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Trench Fighting Many people are under the impression that the use of trenches in warfare is a comparatively new thing. As a matter of fact, trenches in some crude form have been used almost since the Stone Age, and while they have attained very great improvement in this war, yet we find in history that Cæsar made use of trenches in his wars on the Gauls, and even before that the instinct of primeval man when he was hunted was to take cover in the earth. Therefore, when we modern soldiers take advantage of the earth for protection we are simply following instinct. In the Spanish-American War trenches of a kind were used; it is true that they were not of a very elaborate nature, but still they afforded protection, although as a rule the Spanish-American War could be described as open warfare.
