What reading level is Field Fortifications Etc a Text book for the Use of the Cadets of the United book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A splinter-proof traverse (Fig. 42) is usually con- structed as follows : A rectangular space is marked upon the ground for the base of the traverse. A row of gabions is then 132 FIELD FORTIFICATIONS.
placed in juxtaposition along the line representing the base of the traverse, and given a slope inwards, either by setting the gabions on a slightly inclined excava- tion in the ground, or by raising the outer edges by means of fascines laid along on the ground.
The gabions are then filled with ea...rth, and also the interior space enclosed by them.
When the earth has risen above the top of the gab- ions, two rows of fascines are laid upon the top of the gabions to form a base for a second row of gabions. This second row is then filled with earth, and the pro- cess of filling with earth goes on until the earth rises high enough. The top is rounded off or made ridge- shaped, and the traverse is completed.
The same method may be used for the construc- tion of traverses required for defilade, when there is a pressing emergency for them.
