Description

Near Hellfire Corner, Belgium. 29 October 1917. View of a camouflaged 12in Naval gun near Hellfire Corner. On devastated battlefields, such as that of Ypres, the only possible concealment was often that afforded by camouflage, which had therefore to be provided from the base in large quantities.
