AGAINST SILENT ARTILLERY.
117.—Nearing artillery which may open fire.
About two or three miles from the positions liable to be occupied by the enemy's field artillery, precautions should be taken against the possibility of its opening fire.
118.—Deployment.
Deployments should be adopted best suited to escape observation:
119.—To escape direct observation:
March in single or double file, the whole section[D] keeping closed up so as to diminish the number of files seen from the front.
120.—Under aeroplane observation:
Avoid especially the center of roads as they show white, utilize on the contrary the spaces between cultivated fields of different colors, make use of all possible cover, trees, shrubs, ditches, embankments. Always walk in the shade when possible. If hostile aeroplanes are flying low, halt and lie down on left side, hiding face in elbow.
