Excerpt from Present-Day Warfare: How an Army Trains and Fights
In battles fought in open warfare, as in the battle of the Marne, no system of trenches could be built; when the men found they could not ad vance on account of the violence of the enemy's fire they had to construct shelter with the intrench ing-tools which they carried with them, and which formed a part of their equipment. It was no use running away, as the bullets would soon overtake the cowards, so the troops who fought in extended order simply lay down and tried to dig themselves quickly into the earth to avoid losses and also to be able to hold their ground. Each man dug for himself a hole to afford him some Shelter. It is easy to understand that the troops could not live under such conditions for a long time because they could get neither supplies nor reinforcements, having no sheltered means of communication and being under the enemy's fire. On the other hand, such lines of rifle-pits are very easy to defend against an enemy attacking them in front, but cannot be defended if the enemy succeeds in turning them and getting at their rear.
