WIRE ENTANGLEMENTS 
 
 ADDENDA NO. 1 TO ENGINEER FIELD MANUAL 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 1. The object of these notes is to standardize the construction of 
 obstacles throughout the American Expeditionary Forces and to 
 limit the patterns taught and used. Such portions of previously 
 published works on wire entanglements, as conflict with these notes, 
 will not be used by the troops in France. 
 
 2. To insure that all training is directed to the same purpose, these 
 patterns of entanglements and the drills for erecting them will be 
 standard and will have the force of regulations. Units are forbidden 
 to adopt any other types without previous sanction. If any better 
 type or drill is discovered, the fact should be reported. The new 
 method will then be thoroughly tested and if found more satisfactory, 
 will be officially substituted for the old one, and all the units in 
 training will be so informed. 
 
 3. If the occasions demands it, these standard obstacles may be 
 modified to suit such conditions as may arise, due to lack of men, 
 materials, etc., but only by the substitution of smooth for barbed 
 wire, the use of wooden pickets for screw pickets, or the omission of 
 portions of the obstacle, such as one of the aprons of the apron fence. 
 Men trained according to the standard drills should be able to con- 
 struct the modified entanglements without special practice. 
 
 4. The following are the patterns adopted: 
 
 (1) Belts of ribard wire. 
 
 (2) Low wire entanglement. 
 
 (3) Double apron fence. 
 
 (4) French high wire entanglement. 
 
 (5) Portable wire obstacles. 
 
 Troops will be trained in the construction of the ribard wire, the 
 low wire entanglement, the double apron fence and portable wire 
 obstacles. The French high wire entanglement is included in this 
 book for the use of troops serving on the French front. 
 
 GENERAL PRINCIPLES 
 
 5. Location. 
 
 Barbed wire entanglements should be located in accordance with 
 the following principles: 
 
 (a) They must be covered at every point by our own rifle or 
 machine gun fire, either frontal or enfilade. Special emphasis 
 must be laid on FLANQUEMENT, that principle which consists in so 
 siting the entanglement and machine gun positions in reference to 
 each other that the front of the entanglement is swept by the fire 
 from the machine guns. It is the most important consideration in 
 siting barbed wire entanglements (see Fig. I).'- 
 
 5 
 
(6) They must not be too far from the trench, in order to be under 
 observation and control at all times, especially at night. 
 
 (c) They must not be too near our own trench, so as to prevent 
 enemy patrols bombing from outside of entanglement. This, in 
 conjunction with (6) above, fixes its location at a distance varying 
 generally from 30 to CO yards. 
 
 (d) They must be concealed as much as possible from the enemy's 
 observation, both terrestrial and aerial, especially from his ground 
 artillery observation stations. Full advantage should be taken of 
 depressions in the ground, tall grass, woods and reverse slopes. 
 
 (e) The belt of wire should, as far as possible, avoid paralleling the 
 fire trench; and in addition should be irregular in width and height. 
 The first consideration will prevent the enemy artillery from ranging 
 on the trenches to destroy the entanglement; the second, from know- 
 ing definitely when the wire has been destroyed. 
 
 Special precaution must be taken in locating the entanglement to 
 avoid indicating the manner in which the ground is occupied. The 
 location of the ground should be supervised by an engineer officer 
 or other officer detailed for that purpose in order that it may be made 
 to conform to the general organization of the ground prescribed by 
 the commander. 
 
 6. Design: 
 
 The following principles govern the design of the entanglements: 
 (a) Within limits a broad, thin entanglement is better than a 
 
 narrow, thick one; the former being just as effective, and less liable 
 
 to destruction by artillery fire, as well as less visible, especially in 
 
 aerial photographs. 
 
 (6) Two belts of entanglements, separated by a space of from 
 
 10 to 50 yards, are better than the same amount of entanglement in 
 
 one belt. 
 
 (c) The entanglement must be well supported and anchored to 
 the ground by means of pickets and posts, so as to be difficult to 
 flatten out or drag aside. 
 
 (d) It must have sufficient barbed wire to prevent easy penetra- 
 tion. Some loose tangled wire in the entanglement is difficult to 
 clear aside after the wire is cut. 
 
 (e) It should be simple in design in order to be built rapidly and 
 quietly at night in close proximity to the enemy. 
 
 (/) The entanglement should be provided with blinded gaps for 
 passage of our men. The gap usually left is about 12 feet in every 
 50 yards. The actual number will depend largely upon the tactical 
 situation, the activity of the sector, how heavily the line is held, and 
 who has the offensive. Means to block these gaps must be at hand 
 (see Fig. 2). 
 
 (g) It should present in its first stages an obstacle, behind which 
 the wiring party can work under protection and which can be added 
 to and improved as desired. 
 
 7. Construction: 
 
 (a) The entanglement is constructed generally by the infantry 
 under the supervision of infantry officers. 
 
 (6) The best men should be selected for the wiring party proper. 
 (~) In case the entanglement is to be erected in close proximitv 
 
to the enemy, patrols should be sent out in front to protect the 
 working party. Men not working should lie on the ground. 
 
 (d) Rapidity of construction depends on: 
 
 ( 1) Simplicity of design. 
 
 (2) Confidence of men in handling wire. 
 
 (3) Careful organization of parties and material. 
 
 (e) Points to remember in working out drill: 
 
 (1) Use as few men as possible, scattered, not bunched. 
 
 (2) See that groups work in echelon in same direction, and never 
 cross paths. 
 
 (3) As far as possible, do not work on enemy side of obstacle. 
 
 (4) Use a simple pattern so arranged that no group will have to 
 step over wire previously laid by another group. 
 
 NOTES ON MATERIALS AND PRELIMINARY 
 PREPARATIONS 
 
 8. Barbed wire: 
 
 (a) Length. The length of wire on a reel varies from 50 yards to 
 100 yards. Reels will, if possible, be issued in standard 50-yanl 
 lengths. * 
 
 (b) Weight. The weight including drum is about 28 pounds for 
 the 100-yard reel, and 15 pounds for the 50-yard reel. 
 
 (c) Marking. End of Wire. The plain wire securing a reel of 
 barbed wire must be cut, and a piece of sandbag or white cloth tie; I 
 to the running ends in order that there will be no difficulty in finding 
 it at night; also the pieces of tin on the wooden drums must be broken 
 off to prevent noise. All this must be done before material is t-ikeu 
 out for work. 
 
 9. Pickets: 
 
 (a) Wooden. 
 
 Long. Short. 
 
 Length 5 ft. 2^ ft. 
 
 Diameter 3 to 3}4 in. 2}^ to 3 in. 
 
 (b) Screw. (See Fig. 3.) 
 
 Long. Medium. Short. 
 
 Length 5 ft, 3^ ft. 1 1 A ft. 
 
 Diameter '. ^ in. ^ in. flJ in. 
 
 Weight Long 9 Ibs. Short 6 Ibs. Anchorage 3 Ibs. 
 
 (c) Angle iron (British type). 
 
 Length 5 ft. 10^ in. and 3 ft. 6 in. 
 
 Weight 10 Ibs. and 6 Ibs. 
 
 ((/) For carrying, all bundles of screw and iron pickets should be 
 wrapped round with a sand bag and secured in at least two places 
 by a turn of plain wire with the ends twisted together. Enough end 
 to this wire must always be left so that it can be untwisted by hand 
 without pliers. 
 
 (e) Bundles of long wooden pickets should be tied together in at 
 least two places with plain wire. Short wooden pickets are best 
 carried in sand bags, eight in each bag; two bags are tied together 
 and slung over the shoulder. 
 
10. Wire cutters: 
 
 It very seldom occurs that there are enough wire cutters to give a 
 pair to every man in a wiring party (party consists of not more than 
 25 men). If stores have been properly prepared beforehand, there 
 is no necessity for more than two pairs to each party, which should 
 be carried for use in emergency. 
 
 11. Mauls: 
 
 Should be prepared with coiled rope fastened on end to deaden 
 sound (Fig. 4). Where rope is not available, sandbags should be 
 carried to place on head of pickets. 
 
 12. " Ribard wire:" 
 
 (a) This entanglement is copied from the French. It consists of 
 a framework of heavy steel wire rings spaced 3 feet 4 inches apart 
 and connected by barbed wire. 
 
 (b) Its chief advantages are its low degree of visibility; the fact 
 that it can be made up behind the line and carried out to its place; 
 that it is resilient and therefore hard to destroy with artillery, or 
 crush by a weight thrown upon it; and that it is rapid and simple of 
 construction. 
 
 (c) After twisting the "Ribard" cylinder (see paragraph 13e) into 
 a compact coil, bind with white tracing tape in three places. The 
 coils must not be bound with wire as this binding may be difficult 
 to find at night. 
 
 (d) A "Ribard" coil is a one man load in narrow trenches. Across 
 country one can carry two, or at a pinch, three coils strung on a stick 
 over his back. 
 
 (e) Two men are required to untw r ist and place a "Ribard" coil. 
 
 13. Method of making "Ribard" wire (Plate VI): 
 
 (a) Make a wooden table 4 feet square, describe a circle 3 feet 
 4 inches in diameter on the surface, and drive nails as shown on 
 diagram (Fig. 15). 
 
 (b) With heavy steel smooth wire, 3/16 to ^ inches in diameter, 
 make a circle of two turns around the nails. Bind tightly at several 
 points on the circumference. W T ith light smooth wire, about 1/16 
 inch in diameter inscribe two equilateral triangles in the circle as 
 shown in Fig. 16, binding tightly at the points "S" and "J." 
 
 (c) Build a wooden frame 3 ft. 4 in. high, 21 ft. 8 in. long. Make 
 cuts in the frame, or make cleats to hold the circles (Fig. 17). 
 
 (d) Place the circles in the frame, and connect the points of the 
 triangles by three diagonal barbed wires as, AA', BB', CC' or D'D", 
 E'E", F'F". Connect the six points of the inscribed star by hori- 
 zontal barbed wires; a, b, c, d, e,f. Bind the horizontals and diago- 
 nals to each circle, and the diagonals where they cross with smooth 
 wire ligaments (Fig. 18). 
 
 (e) Take the entanglement out of the frame. One man grasps 
 one end, another the other end; both twist strongly to the right, ap- 
 proaching each other at the same time. The cylinder rolls up to a 
 small bundle. Place it on theground, compress it with the feet, and 
 bind with three ligaments, preferably white tracing tape. It is now 
 a coil which can be transported to the front, and there unrolled for 
 use. 
 
 (/) Two men work at each table making circles. Three men work 
 at each frame wiring the cylinder together. 
 
(g) Average time per cylinder is twenty minutes. Wire required: 
 Barbed, 70 yards; heavy steel wire, 50 yards; light smooth wire, 40 
 yards. Short lengths, of smaller wire. 
 
 14. Method of preparing spirals of loose wire: 
 
 (a) The task of throwing loose wire into an entanglement is a 
 long and tedious one. It is made very much easier and quicker if the 
 wire is coiled in a spiral beforehand. 
 
 (6) To do this, drive in two 3-foot stakes, 3 feet apart, and two 
 more at right angles to them 1 foot 6 inches apart as shown in 
 Fig. 5. Then wind 75 yards of barbed wire around this diamond- 
 shaped framework, gradually working it up the stakes in a spiral. 
 Finally, take the spiral off the stakes, and tie it together in four 
 places with plain wire. 
 
 (c) A spiral thus made can be easily carried on his shoulder by a 
 man in a trench. 
 
 (d) If spirals are needed in large quantities, a winch, as shown 
 in Fig. 6, is useful and saves time and labor.

 TIME AND MEN REQUIRED 
 
 16. The following table showing time and men required to con- 
 struct the different standard entanglements is based on the 
 assumption of work under the following conditions, with good 
 average parties, not picked men: 
 
 (a) Stores are taken up by a separate carrying party as far as fire 
 trench only. 
 
 (6) The entanglement is erected 40 to 50 yards from fire trench; 
 stores have, therefore, to be carried out that distance by wiring 
 party. 
 
 (e) Men work equipped to meet attacks.

 Notes: 
 
 (1) The size of the carrying parties should be regulated so that 
 wiring party will not be delayed by lack of material. The carrying 
 parties given above can carry at one trip sufficient stores for fifty 
 yards of entanglement. If more than 50 yards are to be con- 
 structed, say 200 yards, four times as many men must carry. How- 
 ever, if the material dump is close, and the round trip from the 
 dump to the work can be made in a short time, say one hour, it may 
 be possible to make two trips, and cut the carrying party in half. 
 For instance, if the entanglement chosen is the double apron fence, 
 requiring thirty minutes to each 50 yards, total time for the 200 
 yards, two hours, and the dump is one hour round trip away, the 
 
 SO 
 
 necessary material can be carried by 1 N. C. O. and ( '*) or 
 
 men. In other words, the size of the carrying party will vary with 
 the length of the entanglement to be built and with the distance of the 
 material dump from the work. 
 
 (2) For long lengths of entanglement (over 100 yards), a small 
 additional carrying party of three or four men is formed to supply 
 the wiring party with material from front line trench, and also to fill 
 places left vacant by casualties. 
 
 GENERAL RULES FOR ALL DRILLS 
 
 17. Order of work: 
 
 In the following drills, all men have been given a number, and the 
 tasks should be initiated in the order in which the men are numbered, 
 and should be carried through in echelon, so that the men doing 
 different tasks will not be in each other's way. 
 
 18. Pickets: 
 
 (a) Spacing. The N. C. O. determines the location of the pickets 
 in one row by means of pacing; the pickets are located in the other 
 rows by eye in the intervals. 
 
 (6) Laying out. Pickets should always be carried under the left 
 arm and placed on the ground with the right hand, and in such a way 
 
 10 
 
that the end of the screw, or the point of the picket, faces the enemy, 
 indicating the spot at which the picket is to be erected. 
 
 (c) Erection. Screw pickets must be screwed in so that the loops 
 are parallel to the length of the entanglement, and the top loop 
 points in the direction from which the men are working, i. e., toward 
 the starting point. (This rule is essential in order to facilitate 
 placing wires.) 
 
 (d) Anchor pickets. Wooden pickets, used as holdfasts, should be 
 driven in roughly at right angles to the stay wire that is attached 
 to them, but screw anchorage pickets must be put is the direction of 
 this stay wire or they will be drawn in the direction of the strain. 
 
 19. Running out wires: 
 
 In running out barbed wire, two men work together; one man 
 holds the reel and the other stretches the wire and fastens it to the 
 pickets. The stake on which the reel is carried must be small 
 enough so that the coil revolves easily on it, and it must be held so 
 that the wire runs from underneath the reel, and not from the top, 
 for, if held the latter way, the wire tends to rise into the man's face 
 (Fig. .7). 
 
 20. Fixing wires: 
 
 (a) Men fixing the wires must always work facing the enemy. 
 
 (b) To fix wire in top eye of screw picket: Pull the standing end 
 taut and slip the wire up into the eye, turn the running end up over 
 the eye, thus threading the wire in the eye. Then take a turn with 
 the running end around the picket below the eye (see Fig. 8). 
 
 (c) To fix the wire in lower eye of screw pickets when there is 
 already a wire in the top eye: 
 
 (1) Pull the standing end taut and slip the wire up into the eye 
 Then take the bight on the running end, pass it around the picket 
 above the eye, then finish off by taking a turn with the bight on the 
 running end (see Fig. 9). 
 
 (2) If one eye is on the opposite side of the pickets from the others, 
 the wire must be forced down into the eye, and the bight on the run- 
 ning end passed around the picket under the eye. 
 
 Notes: 
 
 The above rules (b) and (c) apply whichever way the wire men are 
 working, from right to left, or left to right, and if carried out, the wire 
 will be firmly fixed in the eye, and cannot slip up or down the 
 picket; also, if one bay is cut, the wire in the bays on either side 
 remains taut, and does not slip through the eyes. 
 
 (d) To fix the wire to wooden pickets, take two turns around the 
 picket, the second turn binding the first turn. (Staples are not used 
 as the above method is quieter and faster.) 
 
 (e) To fix one wire to another, adjacent to it, a short length of 
 smooth w r ire may be used, or the two wires may be twisted together 
 by means of a rack stick, used as shown in Fig. 10. This method is 
 known as " windlassing." 
 
 DESCRIPTION OF THE STANDARD OBSTACLES 
 
 The addition of loose wire and a trip wire certainly make the entan- 
 glement more efficient, and it can be made as quickly as the French 
 
 11 
 
wire itself can be erected. The organization of the wiring party is 
 so arranged that two spare men can do this. If circumstances 
 therefore demand that the trip wire and the loose wire should be 
 omitted, the organization of the rest of the party is not affected. 
 
 I. RIBARD WIRE. 
 
 21. This is a rapid entanglement consisting of two parallel rows 
 of pickets, 6 feet between rows, with horizontal wire along the top 
 of each row. Under each of these fences are placed seven ribard 
 cylinders wired, together end to end, anchored to the ground with 
 iron staples, and windlassed to the horizontal wire along the top. 
 It combines high speed with value as an obstacle and resistance to 
 artillery fire. 
 
 22. The double belt is given as the standard, but it is obvious that 
 more belts may be laid when thought necessary. 
 
 II. Low (OR KNEE-HIGH) ENTANGLEMENT. 
 
 23. This entanglement consists of three rows of medium pickets, 
 a horizontal wire along the top of each row, one diagonal wire in 
 each of the two bays formed by the three rows, and finally loose wire 
 thrown into the bays. 
 
 24. It is not a very effective entanglement, but its chief value lies 
 in the fact that it is not conspicuous. It is the slowest entanglement, 
 to erect at night, if screw pickets are used, as the latter are very hard 
 to find. This difficulty can be overcome by laying down a spun yarn 
 line or tracing tape. 
 
 III. DOUBLE APRON FENCE. 
 
 25. This entanglement consists of four horizontal strands on the 
 fence, and three, including the trip wire, on each apron. 
 
 26. Taking into consideration the following points: 
 
 (a) Effectiveness. 
 
 (b) Amount of preparation required beforehand. 
 
 (c) Size of the carrying party. 
 
 (d) Rapidity and simplicity of erection. 
 
 The double apron fence is undoubtedly one of the best patterns 
 of entanglement yet evolved, and tands up against shell fire or 
 Bangalore torpedoes as well as any other pattern. For very rapid 
 work over long lengths, the back apron was often omitted at the 
 beginning of the war, and the entanglement thus modified was found 
 amply sufficient to hold up the most determined enemy attacks. 
 The value of the entanglement lies chiefly in the front apron which 
 should never be omitted. The men work behind the wire the whole 
 time, and there is no stepping over wires previously erected. 
 
 27. Belts of double apron fences form an excellent framework for 
 a wide obstacle; ribard wire, gooseberries, or loose wire can be 
 thrown in between the bays for thickening purposes. 
 
 IV. PORTABLE WIRE OBSTACLES. 
 (See Plates IV and V.) 
 
 28. These special forms consist of various different shapes of 
 framework upon which is strung barbed wire. They are used: 
 
 12 
 
(a) To block gaps in the entanglement. 
 
 (b) To throw out in front of the trenches as an emergency obstacle. 
 
 (c) To block up narrow streets in defended villages, and trenches 
 leading toward the enemy. 
 
 (d) To make emergency repairs to entanglements partially 
 destroyed by the enemy's fire. 
 
 29. The principal forms are: 
 (a) The knife rest. 
 
 (6) The ribard wire. 
 (c) The gooseberry. 
 (rf) The hedge hog. 
 
 30. The knife rest: 
 
 This obstacle consists of a framework of wood or iron, upon which 
 is strung barbed wire. The iron framework is collapsible and hence 
 easier to transport as well as being more difficult to see and stronger 
 than the wooden type. In shape, the framework of the knife rest is 
 of the same appearance as a common saw-buck. It is the most often 
 used of the portable obstacles (see Fig. 11 for a diagram of a 
 wooden knife rest, and Fig. 12 for a drawing showing one method of 
 blocking a trench). 
 
 31. The ribarb wire: 
 
 This entanglement has been described in paragraphs 21 and 22. 
 The cylinders are much used for closing gaps, blocking trenches, and 
 for hasty repair to existing entanglements. 
 
 32. The gooseberry: 
 
 It consists of barbed wire balls connected by spirals of the same 
 material. It is used principally to block trenches. For this pur- 
 pose the balls should be made with a diameter slightly greater than 
 that of the trench in order that, when jammed into place, they will 
 be more difficult to remove (see Fig. 13). 
 
 33. The hedgehog: 
 
 This form has a wooden framework consisting of two crosspieces

Detail: 
 
 (1) The N. C. O. leads out whole party to the head of the work, 
 and all numbers undo their bundles. 
 
 (2) The N. C. O. indicates to No. 1 where to lay down first anchor- 
 age pickets of the two belts. He then paces out and indicates to 
 Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 5 where to lay their long pickets, and to No. 1 
 where to lay the anchor pickets at the other end of the belts. Each 
 number then screws in his own four pickets. 
 
 (3) Parties C and D bring out two Ribard coils each on the first 
 trip. On the second trip Nos. 6, 7, 8 and 9 each bring out one coil, 
 and No. 10 brings out a coil of barbed wire. All undo their bundles 
 and make ready for .erection. 
 
 (4) Each pair, beginning with Nos. 1 and 2, and ending with 
 Nos. 9 and 10, carries out and places on the front line of pickets one 
 Ribard coil, extending it to its full length and dropping over the 
 line of pickets. Nos. 1 and 2 start wiring the coils together, end to 
 end, working from left to right, No. 1 on the enemy side, No. 2 on 
 our side. Nos. 3 and 4 and Nos 5 and 6 bring up two more coils and 
 place them on the front line. 
 
 (5) Meanwhile Nos. 7, 8, 9 and 10 have placed two coils on the 
 second line. Then parties B, C, and D place four more coils on the 
 second line. Party D starts stapling down the first belt, placing 
 staples at each end and in the center of each coil. Party B runs the 
 horizontal wire along the top of the pickets of the first belt. No. 3 
 runs out the barbed wire coil, No. 4 fixes the end to the head anchor- 
 age picket, and, pulling the wire taut, fixes it to the top of each long 
 picket, finally finishing off on the end anchorage picket. No. 5 
 windlasses the coils up to the horizontal wire at points about one foot 
 on either side of the pickets and at points about midway between 
 them. 
 
 (6) Nos. 7 and 8 place the last coil on the second line. No. 6 
 carries a coil of barbed wire to the head of the second belt and fixes 
 the end to the head anchorage picket. He is then joined by Nos. 
 7 and 8, and the three run the horizontal wire of the second belt, No. 
 6 running out the coil, No. 7 fixing the wire, and No. 8 windlassing. 
 
 (7) Party A wires together the coils of the second belt, as soon as 
 it finishes the first, working the same as before. Party D staples 
 down the first belt and then the second. 
 
 Notes: 
 
 (1) To prepare Ribard coils for erection, two men seize the ends 
 and, twisting in opposite directions, straighten it out. 
 
 (2) If wooden or angle iron pickets are used, the N. C. O. and 
 No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, and No. 4 and No. 5 work together; the 
 N. C. O., Nos. 2 and 4 holding up the pickets while Nos. 1, 3, and 
 5 drive them in.

Detail: 
 
 (1) The N. C. O. leads out the whole party and gets all his stores 
 dumped in some convenient spot behind or near the head of the task. 
 Each party is responsible for its own stores as detailed above; A 
 being the larger party will be ready first. 
 
 (2) When ready, the N. C. O., followed by Nos. 1, 2 and 3, paces 
 out and indicates to No. 1 where to lay pickets. As soon as No. 1 has 
 finished his bundle he screws in 6 pickets. The N. C. O. then 
 follows the same procedure with Nos. 2 and 3. 
 
 (3) As soon as the N. C. O. has thus laid out his center line of 
 pickets, he returns to the head of the task and supervises the laying 
 of the outer and inner line of pickets by B and C parties. 
 
 (4) As soon as A party has finished its pickets, it returns to the 
 head of the work and puts on the diagonal in the outer bay. No. 1 
 runs out the coil, only No. 2 fixes wire on the outer line of pickets, 
 and No. 3 fixes the wire on the center line of pickets. 
 
 (5) As soon as B party has finished its pickets, it returns to the 
 head of the work and puts the horizontal wire on the outer line.of 
 pickets; No. 4 running out the coil and No. 5 fixing the wire on the 
 pickets. 
 
 (G) As soon as C party has finished its pickets, it throws the spiral 
 wire into the outer bay, two spirals in each 50 yards bay. 
 
 (7) When B party has finished the horizontal wire on the outer 
 line of pickets it comes back to the head of the work, and puts the 
 horizontal wire on the center line of pickets. Similarly A party and 
 C party return to the head of the work and repeat the operations 
 stated in paragraphs 4 and 6 in the home bay. 
 
 (8) Finally B party puts the horizontal wire on the inner line of 
 pickets. 
 
 Notes: 
 
 (1) The best men should be in A party and the next best should be 
 in B party. 
 
 (2) Three men are put in A party as it has by far the most difficult 
 task to perform. If this is not done it will be found that the other 
 parties are continually waiting. 
 
 (3) From Paragraph 5 it can be seen that B party has to work in 
 front of the diagonal wire laid by A party; but B party having a 
 much easier task will overtake them and reach the end of the work 
 first. It automatically begins the horizontal wire on the center line 
 of pickets before A party is ready to start on the diagonal wire on the 
 inner bay. 
 
 (4) If the loose wire is not made up in spirals, three men should 
 be put in C party, as it is slow work to uncoil the wire and throw it 
 in loose. 
 
 (5) All low wire entanglements are slow at night owing to the 
 difficulty of seeing the pickets. If circumstances permit of tracing 
 tape or spun yarn being laid down along the center line of pickets, 
 this difficulty may be to a great extent overcome, and all parties get 
 their direction automatically. If tracing tape is used, it can and 
 must be taken up after the entanglement is finished. 
 
 (6) No change in the drill is necessary if wooden or angle iron 
 pickets are used.

 Details: 
 
 (1) The N. C. O. leads out the whole party to the head of the work 
 and A, B, and C parties undo their bundles, when ready. The 
 N. C. O. paces out and indicates to A party where to lay its pickets, 
 commencing with No. 1 and finishing with No. 8. Having done this, 
 the N. C. O. returns to the head of the work, picks up the fourth 
 bundle which D party has brought out, walks back again, and lays 
 out this bundle; all numbers of A party, as they .finish four pickets, 
 join the N. C. O. and screw in these last four pickets. 
 
 (2) Meanwhile B and C parties, getting the direction from the 
 center line of the long pickets, lay out and screw in the whole of the 
 anchorage pickets, No. 4 being responsible for the anchorage picket 
 at the head of the work, and No. 7 for the anchorage picket at the 
 end of the work. Each number of both parties lays out and screws in 
 his own bundle of pickets. 
 
 18 
 
(3) Meanwhile D party brings out the remainder of the stores 
 nnd dumps them at any convenient spot indicated by the N. C. O. 
 This means that each man has to do four journeys. 
 
 (4) As soon as A party has finished its pickets it returns to the 
 head of the work and puts on the front diagonal wire. No. 1 runs 
 out the coil, No. 2 fixes the wire on the pickets, and No. 3 fixes the 
 wire oh the anchorage pickets. 
 
 (5) As B, C, and D parties finish their second task (see tasks) 
 they return to the head of the work and put the horizontal wire on 
 the aprons. Nos. 4, 6, and 8 respectively run out the coils, while 
 Nos. 5, 7, and 9 windlass the wires on the diagonal wire. In doing 
 this Nos. 5, 7, and 9 should not step over the diagonal wire, but walk 
 round the posts, lifting their wire over the posts, and then down into 
 position on the diagonal wire. 
 
 (6) As they finish each task the various parties return to the head 
 of the work and carry on with the next task in the order given. 
 
 Notes: 
 
 (1) The best men should be put in A party and the next best in B 
 party; the next best in C party, and the last in D party. 
 
 (2) Three men are put in A party, as it has by far the most 
 difficult task to do. 
 
 (3) All men work behind the wire the whole time. 
 
 (4) Nos. 1 and 2 must be careful to put the diagonal wire on fairly 
 slack; it automatically gets tightened up when the horizontal wires 
 are windlassed on. 
 
 (5) All diagonal wires and apron 'wires are begun and finished on 
 the end anchorage pickets. The horizontal strands on the fence are 
 not taken down to the end anchorage pickets. 
 
 (6) If wooden or angle iron pickets are used, Nos. 1 and 2 and No. 
 3 and the N. C. O. work together, No. 2 and the N. C. O. holding 
 up the pickets while Nos. 1 and 3 maul them in. 
 
APPENDIX 
 
 FRENCH HIGH WIRE ENTANGLEMENT (SEE PLATE X) 
 
 1. This entanglement consists of two parallel rows of pickets 
 staggered. On these rows are strung three fences, two parallel to 
 the front and one zig-zag connecting the two rows. Each fence con- 
 sists of two horizontal and two diagonal wires. 
 
 2. Among the advantages of this pattern of wire may be listed the 
 following: 
 
 (a) Men work in succession and in the same direction from a 
 flank. 
 
 (6) Men are not bunched and never have to step over wjre pre- 
 viously strung. 
 
 (c) Men never have to work on the enemy side of the wire. 
 
 (d) Presents very quickly a complete obstacle which is always 
 between the wiring party and the enemy and which may be added to 
 as desired. 
 
 3. This pattern is regarded as especially important since trenches 
 to be occupied by the American, troops have in front of them at the 
 present time large quantities of thi& entanglement which must con- 
 stantly be repaired. It has generally been employed by the French 
 in belts 10 yards wide. The pattern is one that lends itself very 
 readily to deepening the entanglement as far as desired.

Detail: 
 
 (1) The senior N. C. O. leads the whole party to the head of the 
 work and all numbers undo their bundles. 
 
 (2) The senior N. C. O. paces the front panel of the entanglement, 
 and marks points where pickets are to be placed. Party A follows 
 him, fixing pickets lightly in the ground. Party C screws the pickets 
 in. 
 
 (3) The junior N. C. O. and parties B and D set the rear panel 
 of pickets in the same manner. 
 
 (4) Of party E, numbers 11 and 12 string the bottom horizontal 
 of the front panel; 13 and 14 the bottom diagonal; 15 and 16 the top 
 diagonal; and 17 and. 18 the top horizontal. 
 
 (5) Party F string the zig-zag panel and party G the rear panel in 
 the same manner, corresponding numbers executing corresponding 
 tasks. 
 
 () Party A places anchorage pickets and anchor wires. Parties 
 C and D screw in anchorage pickets and windlass anchor wires. 
 
 (7) Wires are loosely strung. Each wire is wrapped around the 
 post and around those wires which precede it. f 
 
 (8) It is to be noted that when, men finish their tasks, they get 
 under cover. When halted temporarily in their work, they lie 
 down. 
 
 Notes: 
 
 (1) If a deeper belt is needed, a third row of posts may be added 
 and so on as far as desired, always stringing the zig-zag panel first 
 and the rear panel second. 
 
 Time of construction of three row entanglement (4 yards depth) 
 20 minutes; of six-row entanglement (10 yards depth) \}/ hours. 
 Same detail does all the work. 
 
 (2) If wooden or angle iron pickets are used, numbers 7 and 9 hold 
 the posts while numbers 8 and 10 maul them in. 
 
 (3) When wooden posts are used, care must be taken to make two 
 complete turns of the wire, the second turn binding the first. 
 
 (4) Nine anchorage pickets have been set down in the drill, one 
 to each end picket and the rest spaced equally between. More or 
 less can be used as circumstances decree; the extra pickets to be 
 carried by numbers 33 and 34; and placed by the same numbers, and 
 in the same manner as the nine now described.
