JACK KNIFE IS
PART OF KIT OF
THE BRITISHER!
BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, July 2 — (Correspond
©nee of The Associated Press):- h.v’
eiy soldier in the Pritish army in r r
•nce is provided by the government,
a* part of his overseas kit, with a jack
knife.
The military jack-knife is built for
service. It has only three part.>, a
big blade of Sheffield steel, a can
opener and a “marlin- spike”. ihe
whole tiling clasps into a solid steel or
bone handle four inches long, which is
provided with a ring so that it can be
hung to the belt.
The can-opener is an indispenslble
part of the provision for a soldier’s
well-being at the front. Several im
portant items of his daily menu are
•upplied to him in sealed cans.
The Sheffield blade has numerous
use* too obvioue to need mention, but
it is noticeable that Tommy Atkins
frequently uses it for purposes of eat
ing in preference to the table knite in
his kit.
The knife-blade is also used const
antly as a wood-cutter. In the trenches
the lighting of a brazier is frequently
a difficult operation owing to the vi
tal necessity of avoiding smoke. The
Germans have a strong antipathy to
»moke, and the sight of it raising from
the British trenches arouses in them
disturbing evidences of envy, hatred,
malice and uncharitableness. It is well
therefore, to avoid smoke. So the wood
for the braizer nnut be split up into
thin sticks and shavings, and for this
purpose the official jack-knife is the
ideal instrument.
When the soldier is withdrawn from
the trenches it is hjs first duty’ to make
hniseif ad his belongings clean and
presentable for inspection, iommy
hangs his coat on a peg and “shaves
it with the knife blade.
The marlinspike attachment is use
ful for pryinK open wooden boxes, for
cleaning stones anil mud out of the
horse'* hoofs, for adjusting belts and
I
harness. Braisers gor the trenches a’ t
made from biscuiat tins punched full
of holes to admit a draught.
The Germans were, for a long time,
greatly puzzled by the marLinspike at
tachment which they found on every
British prisoners jack knife. They
made great capital out ot*a story that
it was used to feouge out the eyes of
German wounded. In the official report
of the British Prisoners of War Com
mission, several instances of this fable
are recorded. |
Captain Beaman testified before the
commission that he was berated by a
German Colonel for permitting his
men to use their mariinspikers on the
eyes of German wounded. Captain
Browne told the commission of listen
ing to a Uhlan major who was giving
a lecture and who exhibited a British
hick knfe, showing the marlanspiker
attachment and described it as used
for torturing German prisoners. The
»tory appeal^ t ohave been deliberate!
cooked up by the German military au
thorities for the consumption of their
troops.
