Soldiers of the 149th Artillery 1st Regiment Ill. demonstrate their camouflaged guns in St. Etienne, France. The camouflage is so effective that the guns appear invisible to aircraft, enhancing their protection and surprise against enemy attacks. This photograph was taken on August 24, 1918, and was approved by the censor on July 29, 1918.
