davidfegga Posted 2 November , 2005 Share Posted 2 November , 2005 Hi all reading through the war diaries of 175 Bde RFA, I've come across the term Hurricane bombardment, what was this in comparison to harrasing fire etc. The diary only uses this term from November 1916.

PhilB Posted 2 November , 2005 Share Posted 2 November , 2005 I believe it was a short but very intense bombardment. Phil B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Tom Posted 3 November , 2005 Share Posted 3 November , 2005 Hello, My opinion is that it was indeed a short intense affair compared with the week long bombardments which preceded some attacks and, if nothing esle, let the Germans know something was about to happen.
