These pictures, taken in Belgium, show something of the rocket weapon now in use by Canadian and
British armies on the western front. At top left, Sgt. H. J, Green of Port Arthur, Ont., is holding one
of the rocket projectiles and at top right, Capt. E. V. Burnett of Durham, Ont., and Lieut. L. W. Lewis
of Toronto look over one of the projectors or "guns", its 32- barrels loaded with the death -dealing
rockets. Lower picture shows a barrage being 'firedin final firing trials. Canadian artillerymen led by
Lt. -Col. W. E. Harris, of Sarnia, Ont., now district representative of the Department of Veterans
Affairs at London,. Ont., had a hand in developing the rocket barrage to its present potency, where a
blanket of rockets laid down on enemy positions can completley demoralise the defenders. The barrage
is laid down by a group of rocket projectors. In each group there are 12 projectors or `guns" each
having 32 barrels. This array gives a concentration of fire comparable to that of 280 artillery pieces firing
100 pound shells. Although considerably smaller, the rocket has a burst as effective as the medium ar-
tillery shell, and a barrage can be fired by 200 men as against the 3,000 inen necessary to lay clown the
equivalent fire power from medium artillery. It is stressed that rocket barrages do not supersede artillery
for firing on specific targets since artillery fire can be more accurate. For saturating enemy -held ground
with high explosive, however, the rocket barrage has already proved itself a devastating weapon.
