Camouflage

Listen in the reader

If you can stand upon one spot And look like something you are not And wouldn’t if you could be--say A Bean-bag or a Bale of Hay-- You’ll find it quite a useful stunt To practise on the Western Front; This picture shows how Private Dunne, Disguised as snow, deceived the Hun, Who could not possibly see through The Camouflage: no more can you!
