MEN AT WAR Sound Effects

Private Bert Brennke, of Waterloo, Iowa stepped gingerly along a snow-covered road on the Belgian front, operating a mine detector. He would not let himself be distracted by an odd sound, different from the hum produced in his earphones by the presence of a mine.

But the noise became more & more insistent, began to sound like the busy signal on a dial telephone. Brennke halted, straightened up, took off the headphones to see what was wrong with them—and instantly dived into the roadside ditch. The odd sound was the zing of German bullets going past Brennke’s head.
