Barry Dock News (Barry, Wales), December 13, 1918—
Signs of peace are becoming more evident every day. The steamer Island Laird, lying at Barry Docks, is the first ship in Barry to have the old funnel colors, which were obliterated during the war, repainted. The camouflage is being done away with on many ships.

Anne Laurie, WAR CAMOUFLAGE LIFTED FROM NATIONS, AMERICAN SOLDIERS YEARS FOR HOME in San Francisco Examiner, February 24, 1919—
When I came up Long Island Sound on the French liner L’Espagne from Bordeaux, I saw them painting out the camouflage lines from the hulk of a great ship. The ship looked incredibly dirty and storm tossed and wretched to a degree, but you could see the real shape of it—at least.
Over at the Peace Conference in Paris they are beginning to paint out some of the camouflage lines on the ships of the various nations, and perhaps some of us do not quite admire the general aspect of some of the national ships, just now, as much as we should like to.
But isn’t it just about time for America, as well as Europe, to begin to get rid of some of the strange camouflage of these strange days and look at a few things in Europe and here at home, not as we want to think they are, or not as we thought they were going to be, but as they actually are?
