Received this email this morning from someone new. Hey any of you good-looking engineers, can you answer her question? I can't!
Hello Marion,
My father served with the 121st Engineer Combat Battalion during WWII. The unit's Morning Reports frequently speak about them making "chess paling" after they had arrived at the German border. I assume this is a type of fencing, but I would like to know how it was constructed and the type of wire used. Can you help me?
