About this film

1938 U.S. Army training film # TF-35, Infantry Hasty Field Fortifications . The National Archives' version is 2 copies of the same film joined together? Maybe I'm mistaken... that version is the unedited file. The single film is the shorter version. "TRAINING FILM: On locating and constructing foxholes, barbed wire entanglements and machine gun emplacements. R.1: shows how to dig a foxhole under fire. R.2: deals with "standing" foxholes and connecting trenches. R.3: demonstrates how a "wiring party" constructs obstacles. R.4: and 5 concern the proper emplacement of 30 and 50 cal. machine guns. Last reel shows how to construct miscellaneous infantry positions such as command posts and battalion aid stations."
