Title: Teaching machine-gunners to fire at art. How paintings worth thousands, the work of famous artists, are used to develop skill in gunnery
Caption 1: The aims of war are to aim so as to score. A faithful reproduction of a landscape gives the gunner a sense of distance and proportion not otherwise easily acquired
Caption 2: Machine-gunners learn from artistic reproductions of the terrain how to judge of distance
and of the interrelation of objects. Art with a capital A helps them to become experts
