Best Answer

A hedgerowis a line of plantings which are trained to grow together to create a dense barrier known as a hedge.

The practice of hedge laying is ancient, with evidence to suggest that neolithic humans were among the first to use hedges. Hedgers, professionals who specialize in laying hedges, are found primarily in Ireland and United Kingdom, although they work in other regions of the world as well. Hedgerows can be made with trees, shrubs, plants, and grasses. A number of factors can dictate the materials used, including the purpose of the hedge, the climate, and the aesthetic preference of the person laying the hedge. Some hedges are hundreds of years old, requiring periodic relaying and maintenance. These examples of living history are under increasing threat, and some steps have been taken to protect them from destruction. One of the most basic reasons to establish a hedgerow is to create a barrier, which may be symbolic or practical.

Did the ancient egyptians use cudgels?

Almost. The term cudgel refers to a short, heavy stick or club that is thicker at one end; often cut from blackthorn or other hedgerow hardwood timber.Ancient Egyptian overseers, tax collectors, police and other officials are shown holding sticks, but these are of uniform thickness called xt in hieroglyphs [the word simply means "wood"]. Beatings would certainly be given with these sticks, just as police in modern Arabic countries use their sticks today, but they would not normally be likely to break bones or knock a victim unconscious as a cudgel might do.


How did D-day lead the march to freedom?

After the Normandy Invasion by AlliedTroops, the Allies were able to liberate Caen(by British & Commonwealth forces),followed by Cherbourg (by the Americans).Then in July,1944 the Americans launched Operation Cobra-the U.S. 3rd Army broke out of the hedgerow country into open terrain that favoured swift movement which General Patton loved.Pattons forces moved south and east, while Montgomerys' armies moved north/northwest-destroying V1-V2 rocket sights set up along the Franco-Belgian coast.In August,1944-the Allies launched Operation Dragoon-the invasion of Southern France.By late august,elements of the French 2nd Armoured Division , lead by General LeClerc,Liberated Paris. From this point on, the allies were able to liberate the rest of nazi-occupied europe.


Was the 942nd Field Artillery Battalion in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge?

That is sort of a tricky question because by the time the siege of Bastogne was at its height one could say that any arty unit firing at Germans at the time was supporting Bastogne. However, if you mean was the 941st FA Btn being directed from within the town of Bastogne the answer would be no. At the time the 941st FA Btn was on the northern shoulder of the "bulge" and under corps FDC. Then too the 941st, because of the type of field piece they had (4.5' guns with a range of 21,000+ yds), did a lot of counter battery fire, long range interdiction and night time "harassing" fire and only sometimes direct fire on frontline attacking German units. One caveat to that: the 941st was one of the FIRST arty BTN's in Normandy after the D-Day invasion (D+6) and remained quite active shooting at everything, until Operation COBRA and the hedgerow country breakout. One notable exception for the 941st was the part they played in supporting units defending Krinkelt-Rocherath around Dec 18-20, 1944. During this action the 941st definitely was shooting at frontline German units and provided, along with other arty units, critical support.
