Not illustrated. 1864 Excerpt: ...object and procure a height of 52" to the parapet. To effect this, as soon as there are in rear of the fourth sapper three gabions not crowned, the chief of sap commands, "Fascines." The first and second assistants, each provided with a fork, draw the te'mporary crowning fascines from these gabions down upon, the berme; the third deposits them on the reverse; the fburth brings forward three ordinary fascines; the first and second take one and place it on the berme, raise it with their forks, and place it on the rear of the top of the gabions, joining it as closely as possible with the preceding, and strike it several blows, to engage it in the points of the gabion stakes. A second is placed in advance of this, and a third on top, and in the joint of the first and second. TO CHANGE THE POSTS OP THE SAPPERS.
