Battlefeild Orders

Weapons:

April 14, 1915

Woke up this morning to the sounds of explosions. It was the third time this week that the French had hit us with their mortars. Now these 3" Mortars were capable of firing high explosive grenades or gas bombs into our trenches so naturally this made them an even greater annoyance than ever. The good thing is that the winds been picking up lately so most of their shells have missed us completely. I've heard rumors that were getting our own battery sometime in the near future.

nothing happened

April 16, 1915

Today nothing happened until around noon. This was the time when we were getting new recruits and since they had never been a battle let alone a front line trench, we had to give them basic training and teach them all about Trench Warfare. Now it wasn't all bad the recruits brought us more ammo, guns, food, all the good stuff. But one weapon really caught my eye, it was the flamethrower. Now other than being very cumbersome these flamethrowers could spit fire up to 18 meters, but to use it safely it had to be fired from inside a trench, so this weapon will be rarely used. Now thats a shame.

Went back from the line for a few hours to get some food and rest

Changed positions in the Trench. I was moved 5 miles down the line. When i got there i was glad to see that it was a well fortified well defended and to my surprise i found that they had two tanks wedged into the trench, one was female, and the other one was male. Now the female one only had a few machine guns mounted on it but the male had a large caliber gun. So all in all i feel pretty safe here.

started setting up our new machine gun positions near the front lines. Then around noon we stopped and ate some of those rations they handed out the other day. Well all i have to say is this, it was better than nothing.

Around 3:00 in the morning we started hearing our planes flying over making supply drops. Around 4:00 we had gotten all our supplies out of the no mans land and only had a few casualties. Then at 5:00 our planes started striping the French trenches. Other than that it was a pretty quiet day.
