Fashionable Wear for Snipers

 Sniper camouflage at the Imperial War Museum

Wednesday 13th October 1915: The adjutant of the 7th Battalion reports that they shot another sniper yesterday. Captain Meautys told us: “he was wearing a kind of brown canvas helmet with eye holes”. In this war snipers take whatever precautions they can in order not to be seen. We have even heard reports of fake tree stumps being made and snipers secreting themselves inside them!
