duckboards


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've been reading up on Major-General William Holmes, killed at Messines 2 July 1917 and the HQ War Diary of 4th Australian Division engineers comments on the use of 'Russian duckboards'. Anyone else heard of these. Russian Saps, sure, but duckboards? Given they Aussies used arched (i.e 'springy') duckboards to cross the Douve River, would they be them?

A quick Google hasn't helped

Thanks in anticipation
