trajan Posted 10 August , 2015 Share Posted 10 August , 2015 See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2ifo6xD5Ic#t=1367 This one has the lot - even what looks to me to be an early bangalore torpedo! Mind you, never saw the term 'Trichter' in use in connection with WW1 trench warfare before... I only know it from archaeology - a 'Trichterbecher' is a Bronze Age beaker...

SiegeGunner Posted 10 August , 2015 Share Posted 10 August , 2015 A Trichter is a shell-hole or crater. It also means 'funnel' and I have, somewhere, a Great War vintage cartoon of a Trichterfeld, showing a field covered in funnels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahaa, now I see the connection with them Bronze Age pots - Funnel-shaped beakers... Better known as Bell Beakers in the UK... Thanks! Love to see that cartoon...
