Various ranks were issued field binoculars for reconnaissance purposes. From 1915, soldiers on both sides routinely sharpened the edges of entrenching shovels for use as weapons. In the close confines of a trench, rifles and fixed bayonets were often too long for effective use, often forcing entrenching tools into close-quarter fighting.
The M1887 entrenching tool was carried by most infantry and used for field works. The F1 was designed to use a lighter-based ignition system, but later it began using a percussion cap fuse. The F1 percussion grenade was designed during the War and later employed by France. Furthermore, it was routinely fired from the hip and while walking. This rifle is basically an earlier carbine variant of the 1907/15 Berthier rifle.Ĭhasseurs Alpins: Guide III (Officier de Liaison),Ĭhauchat Fusil Mitrailleur Mle 1915 CSRG "Chauchat" ĭesignated Fusil Mitrailleuse Mle 1915 CSRG, the French Chauchat machine rifle was one of the first light caliber automatic weapons designed to be carried and fired by a single operator.
