Garnish Nets Correctly
Camouflage training poster with two aerial views of a garnished net over open ground: the upper, labelled 'Wrong', shows heavy regular garnishing and a visible path; the lower, labelled 'Right', shows a sparser, irregular pattern. The sheet is instructional; the only persuasion device is the slogan 'Camouflage blinds the enemy', so the technique is faint here.
