Sniper Robe from the British Empire dated to around 1916 on display at the Imperial War Museum in London, England

Many British Army snipers were trained by former Highland gamekeepers and deer stalkers of the Lovat Scouts, who gave extensive guidance on sniper's field service attire based on their extensive professional skills in improvising personal camouflage and their practical experience of effective concealment. As a result a wide variety of camouflage clothing schemes were adopted on the Western Front, either improvised or officially produced; these included mittens, gaiters and robes.

Battle No. 337, dated 17 October 1981. Charley's War cover by Joe Colquhoun. The cover image is similar to that of Joe's cover for the first Charley's War collection from Titan which was released around 1986.

The inspiration for it thought is undoubtedly the photograph of a British soldier beside the grave of a comrade during the Third Battle of Ypres, 22nd August 1917.

Lee Miller  A Woman’s War

Hilary Roberts, Introduction by Antony Penrose

Thames & Hudson, London 2015, 224 pages, 156 illustrations, Hardback, 28 x 23 cm, ISBN  9780500518182

Lee Miller photographed innumerable women during her career, first as a fashion photographer and then as a journalist during the Second World War, documenting the social consequences of the conflict, particularly the impact of the war on women across Europe. Her work as a war photographer is perhaps that for which she is best remembered; in fact, she was among the 20th century's most important photographers on the subject. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Imperial War Museum, Lee Miller: A Womans War tells the story beyond the battlefields of the Second World War by way of Miller's extraordinary photographs of the women whose lives were affected. Introductions by Hilary Roberts and Antony Penrose, Lee Miller's son, precede Miller's work, which is divided into chronological chapters. Miller's photographs, many previously unpublished, are accompanied by extended captions that place the images within the context of women's roles within the landscape of war.

A day late, but I finally got around to re-watching They Shall Not Grow Old. It’s not a traditional documentary because there is no narrator. Every spoken word is from an actual veteran of World War 1. They tell their stories as the restored WW1 footage is shown. It’s truly amazing.
