The enemy balloons were floating over their line all along the ill-famed Salient and we could only bank on the sketchy camouflage nets strung up between us to conceal what would be a prize target to the enemy observers perched on high and in close touch with their heavy batteries of guns below. %K Ypres Menin Road Battle %K South African Brigade %K 27th Lowland Brigade %K 28th Highland Brigade %K Captain A.W.H.
