A military application of the word 'burn', in a combat situation involving trenches, might indicate the mound of dirt along-side the trench. The term 'burn' when used to describe displaced dirt from the trench, as mounded like an escarpment along the trench, reveals a simile to the firing squad down below ground level, in somewhat a more crucial analogy to the situation than the word,'embankment'.
