Rare Trip Pickett
Low Trip Hazard Pickett. (approx 19 inches long)
These were the last
pickets that were laid in front of the British trench to trip any raiders
running at the trench.
Of all pickets these are probably the most
scarce, the longer pickets were used after the war to make field fences and can
still be seen on the Western Front, whilst these low ones were discarded and
buried.
Found on the Somme near Serre.
