The British and Canadian armies experimented with a variety of alarms. One common one was this type of rattle, which produced a loud clacking sound when rotated. Bells, gongs and air horns in the trenches were commonly used, but there were situations in which these rattles were a better solution. hey wre lightweight,m portable and had a simple, inexpensive design. |
