Naval Camp Sandbagged Fighting Position

A jury-rigged defensive breastwork fashioned from sand-filled burlap sacks, haphazardly stacked three courses high around the perimeter of the naval camp. The earth-packed hummocks sag in places, their rough stitching split by recent impacts, spilling grit onto the trampled grass. Where Russian patrols huddled moments earlier, shell casings now litter the parapet, and a single snapped sack bleeds dark soil onto a blood-smeared ground sheet. The hasty fortification offers no real cover but marks the contested ground where Bates detonates the lethal gas grenade.
