It’s baaaack! Yes, last night, I jumped back into the U.S. Navy Landing Party Manual-1950 to read a few more chapters.
One section I found particularly interesting covered the construction of a one-man foxhole. The Manual states that, “in most types of soil the foxhole gives positive protection against the crushing action of tanks, provided the occupant crouches at least 2 feet below the ground surface.” I don’t think I would want to be the one trying out that theory! How about you?
