Trench Test#5: Battlefield Tactics On your first day in the front line trench a "vet" comes over to talk to you and your mates. He looks very serious. "O.K. Private," he says, "You passed your training in Britain, but now your real training starts. Forget about everything they taught you at camp. Now it's learn fast or die!" Here are some of the challenges we face every day in the trenches. Let's see if you know how to survive! You are on night patrol in No Mans Land. Suddenly a flare goes off, lighting up the battlefield. What do you do? A. Make a quick dive into the nearest shell hole. B. Use your rifle to shoot the flare, to knock it down or extinguish it. C. Fall down flat into the mud as quickly as possible. Dig in deep and stay still. D. Freeze just where and as you are. Do not move, even if you are in the open. |
