Apparently these units would man observation posts in the trenches, looking through peep-holes across no-man's land. Sniping was just another of their duties. For example, one of the anecdotes in the book I mentioned in my last post concerned a cat seen sunning itself on sandbags at a particular unused spot of the German line for a period of several days. This was reported by the int section, leading to aerial recce which identified a new German company HQ bunker in the previously thought unused trench line. The artillery then blasted the area.
