The "drum fire" as well as the "curtain fire" were carried out with this heavy weaponery. In almost all cases, howitzers were used with a curved range of guns, such as this rare English example.
Both sides made extensive use of this totally failed and complete useless tactics.
During a drum fire thousands of pieces of heavy artillery shelling was carried out on a small front sector and sometimes more than a million shells were fired a day.
The insane tactics of the drum fire changed forests and landscapes forever, every meter of fertile soil was destroyed and hilltops dropped to twenty meters.
The psychological effect of the soldiers of the front was that they did everything to escape from this terrible and inhuman idiocy, very often at the expense of their lives.
A sustained drumfire on a position made front soldiers insane with fear and thus ther was talk of the psychological disorder "Shellshock".
After the donkeys of the staff of both camps experienced that the drum fire didn't had the intented effect, these butchers devised a new tactic called "the curtain fire".
This very shortsighted tactic involved the attackting infantrymen advancing in front of the artillery towards enemy trenches and being protected by a curtain of shells falling in front of them.
Such nonsense might have worked if there had been proper
means of communication.
Because the advancing infantry could not be kept up by the heavy artillery, thousands and thousands infantrymen were killed by their own "friendly" fire.......

In the arms of mommy
This December 22 we came back to see the little show Margriet and Paula prepared with the kids of their neighborhood.
The ambience was very friendly, the moms brought food and even some daddys were present.
I took some candid shot but ended up doing a portrait session so everyone will get a picture :)
Margriet and Paula distributed around 53 present to all the children.
My contribution will be to offer my pictures to each of them :)
What a nice moment :)
