Were WW1 bunkers and pillboxes actually camouflaged by terrain features and/or painted ort covered by nets? |

All of the above, depending on the specific bunkers in question. Same as in WW2. |

I expect most were near or in the front line. So mud and foliage. On the western front I suspect bunkers would not be built in positions too identifiable? Apparently the German ones were often of better quality (deeper etc). |

WW1 pillboxes could be and absolutely were camouflaged. I recommend the book "Pillboxes on the Western Front", by Peter Oldham; Leo Cooper (press); 1995. Try Pen & Sword if interested in procuring a copy. B |
