    The neat part about this photo is that there are actually nine soldiers in the frame. The two up front were just the worst two for putting on the camo.

    Where? I don’t see no soldiers.

    To be fair that is likely orthographic film, which reacts only to blue light and is very high contrast, which probably makes the camo stand out more.

    Cagoules (cowls) were the term used by the French to refer to these paint camouflaged outfits. French artillery troops begin to make the outfits themselves after realizing that enemy planes could spot them from the air.
