Concertina Wire Entanglements II

Arthur Coppard, who observed attempts to destroy Concertina Wire entanglements in the Somme remarked: "Who told them that artillery fire would pound such Concertina Wire to pieces, generating it feasible to obtain via? Any Tommy could have told them that shell fire lifts wire up and drops it down, frequently inside a worse tangle than prior to."

As Ernst Toller pointed out, becoming caught on the Concertina Wire was a terrible expertise: "One evening we heard a cry, the cry of one in excruciating discomfort; then all was quiet once more. Somebody in his death agony, we believed. But an hour later the cry came once more. It by no means ceased the entire evening... Later we discovered that it was one of our personal males hanging on the Concertina Wire. No one could do something for him; two males had currently attempted to save him, only to become shot themselves. We prayed desperately for his death. He took so lengthy about it, and if he went on a lot longer we ought to go mad. But on the third day his cries had been stopped by death."

Occasionally death came later. Brigadier-General Frank Percy Crozier pointed out in his book, A Brass Hat in No Man's Land (1930): "Colonel Pope, the commanding officer with the Borderers, becomes a casualty. Tripping more than some rusty wire he falls and punctures his face. Two years later a military funeral leaves AIillbank Hospital, and on the gun-carriage are the mortal remains of Pope. The dirty wire killed him."
