Bombproof Huts in the Civil War
Bombproof huts close to the front lines, made to withstand a bombardment. Bombproof Huts for "Colored" Troops, are basically a board over a ditch. Not much protection but generally the bombardment was towards the front lines so you would position the boards to deflect debris. Unfortunately if you were under this, and they were shelling you directly, it is not much cover.
