Sniper camouflage at the Imperial War Museum
Sunday 10th
October 1915: The adjutant of the 7th Bedfords has sent us some more
information about the hunt for German snipers. Last evening observers and
sentries reported two masked snipers at a certain position. These Germans kept
putting up dummies and firing from behind and between them. These dummies and the
snipers were dressed the same and could be easily seen through glasses, thus
showing the dummies to be ineffective as decoys. After three hours the
Battalion’s own snipers scored a hit and the enemy fire ceased.
