Description

GREECE. AT THE TOP OF PICTURE IS MT PARNASSUS WHILE AT THE BOTTOM ARE THREE DIGGERS FROM SIGNAL CORPS STANDING ON THE MUDGUARD OF THEIR BUS; THEY CALL IT CAMOUFLAGE, BUT IT IS MORE LIKE HIDING THE TRUCK ALTOGETHER. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GREEK SHOW THE BOYS JUST CAMOUFLAGED THEIR VEHICLES SO SO, BUT AS SOON AS THE DIVE BOMBERS STARTED TO MAKE IT REALLY HOT TRUCKS COULD JUST NOT BE FOUND. THE DIGGERS GOT SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR CAMOUFLAGE. (NEGATIVE BY G. SILK).
