- Description
- We have now come to close quarters showing how the enemy might be found in the trench. The gun is grasped near the muzzle and our man is ready to make a deadly lunge into the baggy sawdust filled head of his antagonist. We used to laugh at the Chinese for teaching their army to yell and make faces to scare the enemy, but we are now beginning to realize the psychological value of such tactics and one of the essentials of a bayonet charge as now conducted is the blood curdling yell. Thus another of the ancient military devices is being revived and improved for use in the present war.
