I think these KM artillerymen may have burlap covers on their helmets.

Was the burlap held in place only by chicken wire ? I have never seen photo of burlap held by anything else.

Wow Chris.. I'd love to see some more photos of that one! Very interesting for sure and the first camo with burlap I have seen.

Best wishes,
Josh

It looks like a Normandy beach Chris. I can't think where else it could be, especially with the long flat beach and the obstacles like that.
