Trench WIP: the end is in sight! The Tommy helmet is glued down, finishing off the sitting figure. Then we have some random bits that will be strune around the trench. Hopefully in the next week I’ll be able to file this in the “finished” category. #austinscalemodelsociety #scalemodelsworld #skalefreaks #trench #diorama #trenchwarfare #westernfront #worldwar1 #thegreatwar #wartoendallwars #westernfront #trenchraider #staticgrass #theyshallnotgrowold #thesomme #springoffensive #weatheringmodels #trenchraider #leeenfield
Just a regular day in a German trench

German flamethrower attack on French trenches in Verdun.
Though projected incendiary weapons such as Greek fire were used in naval engagements by ancient Byzantines and Chinese, the modern flamethrower made its debut in 1901, when Richard Fiedler submitted his "Flammenwerfer" design to the German Army.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most flamethrower designs consisted of a vertical single cylinder carried on a soldier’s back, horizontally divided in two, one filled with a flammable liquid, the other with propellant gas. The squeeze of a trigger would send the liquid shooting across an igniter, projecting a jet of burning fuel at targets up to 18 meters away.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first combat use of the flamethrower came on Feb. 26, 1915, against the French near Verdun. The usefulness of the weapon was limited by its short range and limited mobility. On July 30, 1915, flamethrowers were used effectively against British positions at Hooge to flush soldiers out of their trenches and into the open.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The flamethrower, like poison gas, was a psychologically terrifying weapon, leading to its use by the German Army in more than 650 attacks in the war. It was also adopted by the British and French over the course of the conflict.
A British Trench Raid on German Positions on the Western Front, 1917. (Peter Denis)
.
Todays post is on the dangerous job of Trench Raids during The First World War:
.
Trench Raids usually happened at night. Front line Patrols were sent out late night to stealthily sneak into enemy positions to gather intelligence, take Prisoners, to destroy fortifications and key documents. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Attackers carried specialised weapons - knives, knuckledusters and improvised clubs proved useful in close-confined trench-fighting. Camouflaged uniforms were often worn.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes the attackers would use poison gas, hand grenades and trench raiders which would prove useful. As you can see this British soldier is threatening a German soldier on late night patrol with his bayonet.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The following are words from actual Veterans who were involved in Trench Raids.
One such veteran of the London Regiment named Sidney Amatt recalled on preparation on a Trench Raid in 1916.
.
"They never used to ask for volunteers; they used to say you, you, you and you, and you were in the party. They usually went over in silence at night and you didn’t carry any equipment. All you carried was a rifle and bayonet, that’s if you were detailed for that"
.
"The parties were arranged like this: number one was the rifleman, he carried a rifle and bayonet and 50 rounds of ammunition and nothing else. The next man was a bomb thrower, a grenade thrower; he only carried a haversack which was full of Mills hand grenades. And the next man, he also was a bomb thrower, and he helped the first man replace his stock when he exhausted it. And the last man was a rifle and bayonet man and all he carried was a rifle and 50 rounds of ammunition and a bandolier slung over his shoulder – nothing else"
