Tonyan ^ Supervises Making Of Directional Markers One of the most interesting bits of work carried out by a McHenry serviceman is that of Henry B.Tonyan, who is engaged in the art,, of camouflage. From time to time we haved carried stories concerning the details of Sgt. Tonyan's work, but this week's story,sent to us from Belgium, where the young soldier is now stationed, is probably the most interesting of all.
