A camouflet is a small mine explosion which does not form a crater, and is calculated to destroy underground workings. |
Working parties were heavy, and on one occasion the Bosche blew a camouflet while work was in progress. |
The camouflet totally destroys the enemy's gallery, but does not break the surface. |
When an enemy mine is being dug, a camouflet destroys it before completion. |
