'Perils of Patrol Work in "No-Man's-Land"', First World War, 1915-1916, (c1920). 'British patrol hiding from the glare of one of the German light-producing rockets...The only chance for the patrol caught by this light-shell rocket from the German trenches was to lie face downwards, in the hope that they might escape the watching eyes along the enemy's line...The rockets showed comparatively little light during their flight, but then burst with a dazzling glare, making the "No-Man's-Land" between the trenches as light as day.' From "The Great World War: A History", Volume V, edited by Frank A Mumby. [The Gresham Publishing Company Ltd, London, c1920]
