Dazzle camouflage (Razzle Dazzle) used by the UK and US Navy during WW1 and, to a lesser extent, WW2, has emerged as an illuminating visual metaphor to view the creative responses of some women military veterans to (post)deployment identities. My creative piece, "Start a Hare", - a ‘nursery noir’ story-within-a-story - is an extract from my novel for young adults that responds to the bright colours, fractured design, and use of counter-shading that characterises Razzle Dazzle camouflage.
