- Description
- Let us now go back to the special training of our soldiers. The infantry forms the great bulk of the army but their activities are exceedingly varied. However, all of them must be handy with a gun so the rifle ranges are among the most active sections of the cantonments. Our soldiers are taught to shoot at definite objects and not in zones as the Germans are. Various targets beside the regular bull’s eye surrounded by rigs are used, such as dummy heads just showing above a distant trench, or figures of men in different positions.
