Description	Another Secret out - Old Bill in camouflage
Details	Front cover of The Bystander featuring Old Bill, the cartoon soldier character created by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, attired in a uniform of dazzle camouflage. The caption reads, 'Another secret out. Of course, 'Old Bill' would have been shot in August, 1914, had not a wise and kind-hearted Government taken the precaution of having him camouflaged in the most approved style.' The revelation about dazzle camouflage resulted in an interest in the concept after the war.
