title: Shell scrape
text: A shell scrape is a type of military earthwork dug at a shallow but sufficient depth in the ground where a soldier can take shelter from weapons fire. While similar to a defensive fighting position in that the purpose is to shield a single soldier from artillery, mortar and direct small arms fire, it is not intended to be used for fighting from. Shell scrapes are generally hastily excavated manually, with immediately available means such as the entrenching tool, and are temporary constructions.
