3. Camouflage Netting

To shield their positions from increasingly frequent enemy flyovers, soldiers began using camouflage netting. Woven nets were draped over artillery, supply dumps, and trenches, then disguised further with branches, grass, and mud. This simple yet effective tactic blurred the lines between man-made structures and the natural environment. According to the National WWI Museum and Memorial, these nets became essential tools in the ongoing battle against enemy reconnaissance from the sky.
