Camouflaged British Commando Snipers Get Final Instructions
Some of the fighting in the bridgehead resembles jungle fighting with snipers operating from hidden eyries and troops camouflaged with leaves and twigs. Under these conditions it remains just as fierce as more open operations. Picture shows: Officers of a Commando unit giving final instructions to two camouflaged commando snipers who are going to watch a German held house on the edge of Breville.
