Description: | Dummy dead German. This dummy was used at the Camouflage School in Kensington Gardens to give an idea of a device made use of by the Germans on different parts of their front. Figures were made to appear like our men by dressing dummies in captured khaki. They were placed in No Man's Land and by means of cord an arm was raised as if for assistance; sometimes the body was made to sit up. Generally the head was bound up in bandages. The idea was to get our men to effect a "rescue".
