Those wreaths of smoke are Zassolich's welcome-from studiously Emplaced pieces raking the challengers-but the challengers are closing their gaps and gaining momentum-carrying their wounded with them, as they wade forward.
"The Tempering"
Charles Neville Buck
But now great gray guns are Emplaced in the shady glens where the honeymooners used to stroll; on the terraces of the tourist hostelries, where, on summer afternoons, men in white flannels and women in dainty frocks chattered over their tea, now lounge Italian officers in field uniforms of gray; the blare of dance music and the popping of champagne corks has been replaced by the blare of bugles and the popping of rifles.
"Italy at War and the Allies in the West"

Here the guns are Emplaced in ice caverns which can be reached only through tunnels cut through the drifts; here the men spend their days wrapped in shaggy furs, their faces smeared with grease as a protection from the stinging blasts, and their nights in holes burrowed in the snow, like the igloos of Esquimaux.
