"A photograph capturing the result of an ordnance department body armor test conducted at Fort de la Peigney, Langres, France during World War One. The heavy weight No. 5 body armor was tested with a service rifle from different distances - at 200 yards, direct hits caused a slight dent, while shots aimed at the edge resulted in a 1/8" dent. This photo is not intended for publication and is for official use only."
