Exempel på hur man kan använda MOPPERS-UP i en mening

• On the first-day of Third Ypres, in which 12 Allied divisions were engaged, it was intended that the Liverpool Irish would initially act as "moppers-up", entrusted with the responsibility of neutralising opposition on the front of the 2/5th Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers, before partial dispersal to other battalions and employment as brigade support concentrated on a line between two positions known as Keir Farm and Schuler Farm, east of the village of St.
• Some 200 Germans penetrated into the British front line but were stopped by Sergeant McCrea and his moppers-up of 16th RS and then driven out by Lewis gun fire and bombing parties from 10th Lincolns and 20th NF from the flanks, and the fire of 101st TMB.
• However, the barrage and moppers-up had missed three strongpoints in front of the ravine, and the garrisons of these posts opened fire in the rear of 12th SWB and on the carrying parties from 119th Brigade Trench Mortar Battery, who were bringing forward supplies for the battalion.
