| As we were coming down the duckboard track after being relieved Jerry started to put over a barrage. |
| The comfortably-sized duckboard 75 cm x 80 cm is built into the structure but remains mobile. It can therefore be removed at any time without making the structure less stable. |
| At some 'posts' there was nothing better to sit on than the muddy 'fire-step' or at best half a duckboard or an old bomb box. |
| In my minds eye I tried to picture the landscape in 1917, a sea of mud, with movement only possible on duckboard roads. |
| The pipes of the self draining cockpit are enlarged, the teak seats and the duckboard replaced. |
| I stamped on the duckboard and kicked the sides of the trench and jerked my rifle up and down just to keep myself awake. |
