Bombing An Enemy Trench

In a portion of Moore Park which at one time formed part of the old Rifle Range has been dug a series of trenches, which are a facsimile of certain Anzac trenches in Gallipoli. The work of making them has been carried out by the Engineers’ Officers' Training School, now in the Engineers' Depot, Moore Park. The trenches were utilised on Wednesday last to demonstrate from start to finish the art of trench warfare.

The military officers present at the demonstration expressed themselves as very satisfied with the work done, and said that the officers' training school had shown a wonderful adaptability in the bombing and mining work, which had been of a very realistic character.
