In Use on Battlefelds.

sizes have been in use on European
battleflelds for some time. They are
made of combinations of mirrors All

rors inclosed in metal cases. mirrors
screened by green and. dead leaves, mir
rors wrapped in sacking to look like

The theory is that by the use of the
periscope a Sniper can pick off an
enemy without exposing himself. but it
does not always work out in practice
unless he is able to camouhage his de-
vice successfully against detection by
observers.
The moment his periscope appears
two inches above the trench parapet if
in easy range, its mirrors are smashed
to bits by counter snipers in the enemy
trenches. 1t can be kept above the
trench only a few seconds, but this is
often sufficient to account for trouble
