Caption in album or on mount	Sandbag barricade and barbed wire formed the strong defence to be found at many points in the French Concession where the authorities had erected them, showing they were not slow in preparing for emergencies. At some of their outposts were mounted machine-guns, manned by the new colonial troops, supplemeted by Annamites, and the regular and volunteer Police. These barricades were singularly effective and did much to bolster up the confidence of those living in the Concession.
