Artillery Notes - Wire Cutting
Wire-cutting is a technique used during military battles to counter the enemies' use of barbed wire. This handbook offered information to soldiers about the best methods for wire-cutting, the procedures, as well as important safety considerations. Booklets such as these contained confidential information regarding plans of attack, and therefore were forbidden from being brought to the frontlines.
