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!
