| Behind him on the other side of the trench, was a similar berm called the parados. |
| Not one of them gave a glance at the line of dead men over there, behind their parados. |
| The parados, to the rear, was a gently sloping ridge of debris left over from the digging of the trench. |
| I gave orders for the men to dress and lie flat on the parados, ready for the word to move. |
| We got to work at once shying the sandbags over from the old front of the trench to the parados. |
| Direct hits were very rare, but on one occasion I had the satisfaction of seeing a machine-gun hurled over the Turkish parados. |
