US camouflage suit

Hi all, a picture from the Illustrated London News, May 1918 showing a camouflaged US serviceman. As some 'old' pictures reappear again and again in books today, it might be you already seen this, if so sorry for bringing old news.

regards, Kieffer

Strangely creepy in appearance...
Was this real, or just one of the Many hopeless newspaper fantasies of the Great War?

I guess they only experimented with it. The picture showed up in a few magazines, more or a less to give an impression of the new and modern allie I think.
Other sniper suits were by the way looking uncanny too, especially the hood.
This one is a British sniper.

That would certainly give you a fright! I remember seeing some film footage of soldiers in these crawling about.
