Description: | M P [or possibly M T]
whole: a schematic drawing for Dazzle camouflage, featuring a hand-drawn and hand-painted port-side view of a warship.
Four superstructure details have been applied above the ship's scheme. All major text is hand-lettered, with the colour designations
applied with an ink stamp.
image: a port-side view of a Royal Navy '24 Class' sweeping sloop, representing HMS Bend'or, HMS Iroquois and HMS
Harvester.
HMS Order Nos. 68/69/70
'Group G' was part of a sequence of 'shared' Dazzle camouflage schemes [Groups 'A' to 'G'] intended to serve the Royal Navy's fleet of '24
Class' sweeping sloops.
The port-side design must be considered the principle drawing of the two schemes as it carries the ship and scheme details, as well as the
superstructure camouflage scheme.
HMS Iroquois is misspelt in the title as 'Troquis'.
