Inscriptions verso (printed in black): No. 8-BARBED WIRE ENTANGLEMENTS PROTECTING GERMAN TRENCHES /
"Forests," writes George Adams, London / Times Correspondent "have been thinned down / to provide their stumpy support for these wire / entanglements in front of the trench lines. The / wire and supports themselves reqquire constant / renewal. Machine-gun, or, indeed, sustained / rifle fire will destroy the efficiency of the wire / as an obstacle.
