    These screw picquets were used in huge numbers by both sides in WW1. Made of wrought iron. With a tommy bar through the loop it was possible to screw them into the ground at night instead of making noise hitting them with a hammer. After the war many farmers in Flanders used them as fence posts, and they can still be seen there sometimes.
