The salients in the enemy's line, from which he could bring enfilade fire across his front, were made into self-contained forts, and often protected by minefields; while strong redoubts and concrete machine gun emplacements had been constructed in positions from which he could sweep his own trenches should these be taken. Many of Cornwallis' cannons were probably smaller field guns with a less effective range, which increased the enfilade fire requirements and left batteries and works uncovered. Barry, therefore, ordered Griffin to change back to solid shot and continue his well-placed enfilade fire against the Rebel guns. |
