Additional information:
The scale and complexity of trench fortifications in the so-called Great War (stretching for nearly 1,300 miles), however, were unprecedented; and it was this that allowed barbed wire to play out its new and frightening role. Described phlegmatically in a British manual as the "most efficient obstacle and [one that is] universally used", barbed wire and its dreadful effects were picked up and lampooned by British troops in the lyrics of The Old Barbed Wire, a popular World War I song: "If you to want to find the sergeant, /I know where he is, /... I've seen him... /Lying on the canteen floor... /If you want to find the old battalion, /I know where they are, /They're hanging on the old barbed wire. /I've seen 'em, I've seen 'em, / ..."The German war veteran and author, Erich Maria Remarque (1888-1970), would later allude to such "hangings" in his famous novel of 1928, Im Westen nichts Neues. Published in 1929 in English as All Quiet on the Western Front, Remarque writes: "We recognise the distorted faces and the flattened helmets - it's the French...the body falls away completely and only the shot-off hands and the stumps of the arms are left hanging in the wire."
