"During World War [--] both sides engaged in constant surveillance of enemy lines but this was a challenging task. Exposing oneself above the trench parapet for more than a few seconds often resulted in being shot. To overcome this obstacle the French devised a clever strategy of disguising observation posts as trees and they shared this technique with the British who also adopted it. Eventually even the Germans began employing this method. Given the constant vigilance of the enemy along the front the creation of a new tree was not feasible since it would instantly attract attention and gunfire."
