Of shelter trenches there are various kinds, from the hasty shelter trench thrown up In a few minutes by deep gun epaule-ment- s for artillery.

A parapet thus screened Is of the turnout service JK the marksman. Another effective method used by crack shots is a rifle pit. This la simply a large circular hole, with Jhe loose earth thrown up around concealed cither by turf or brushwood.
