Siege Earthworks Wordsearch

Rochambeau’s advice helped Washington plan an effective siege against the British at Yorktown. Part of this plan meant the troops needed to construct siege parallels to force a British surrender. Siege parallels were made up of earthen mounds also known as earthworks built alongside a ditch dug parallel to the point of attack. These earthworks provided a barricade against enemy fire. Search for the eleven items you will need to build a siege parallel.
