Scope and Content

French soldiers are here shown testing the flame-projectors captured by them from the Germans. This product of German ‘Kultur’ is to all intents and purposes identical with a portable fire extinguisher, both in principle and construction, and in order to realise in full the Hun-like brutality of its use it is necessary to remember that the great billowy clouds emitted from the apparatus are burning flames.
