A camouflaged dwelling for Marines in France is the subject of this glass negative, which the Bain News Service recorded under that title. Camouflage became a serious military tool during the First World War, when armies on the Western Front hid guns, vehicles, and buildings under painted screens, foliage, and irregular patterns to make them harder to spot from the air. The record gives no date, and the title comes from information the news service noted on the negative or its caption card, so the exact location and circumstances remain unconfirmed. The picture still shows how American troops lived under the concealment methods that Allied forces had developed by then.
