A baby and/or small child
A kitten or puppy A bag of silver coins A women who has been held as a slave A box of fine china (looted from a house) Unexploded 500 lb bomb RPG round that was fired with the nose fuse cover on A historic weapon of some time (matchlock musket for example) The code book for the Soviet radio networks |
Catholes, urine patches (or the smell left over, if catholes are not used, or doo-doo left over if catholes are not used), and slit trenches, whether covered over or not. If you know what to look for, you can track an enemiy's movement with them.

Another weird one.
The PCs find a doorframe, complete with door. It's been erected in a small stand of trees and doesn't appear to have been part of any sort of building. It's as if someone just set up the door for no reason other than to mess with people's heads. (Inspired by the claims of people finding staircases in the middle of woods in the USA. The staircases allegedly cause people to lose sense of time or sense of hearing.) |

Since we're adding to the list, here's a couple of more:
1. A lighter with enough fluid for 1D10 more ignitions. 2. A pack of Marlboro Reds with 1D10 cigarettes in it. 3. A laundry cord tied between two trees with a single sock laying below it. 4. An empty & damaged chicken or rabbit cage and a broken butcher knife. 5. A torn tarp, 20ft length of 3/8" chain (10K # load rating), wooden dunnage, and a ratchet binder unceremoniously dumped in a heap next to a bush. 6. A small steel flask that is now empty but smells like vodka or bourbon. 7. Two dead D-Cell batteries. 8. A garrison cap with a BIG bloody hole through it. 9. A shredded Super-Single off a 5-Ton truck. 10. A used glow stick. |

A wooden platform found up in the tree's (used for artillery observation)
|
Inspired by rcaf_777 mention of observation posts.
A civilian light truck, used for electrical line maintenance. Has a cherry-picker (AKA aerial work platform, elevating work platform) that's been modified with some armour protection. Vehicle was parked behind some suitable protection such as a hill, berm or even a wrecked armoured vehicle. The platform itself has some spent bullet casings on its floor, along with some bloodstains. Something "borrowed" from a museum and placed on the battlefield, a World War One fake tree. These were used as observation posts in No Mans Land but also as sniper posts. Check the following links for information but more importantly, for some images: - http://blogs.iwm.org.uk/transforming...mouflage-tree/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/trave...WWI-180962179/ http://www.eastsussexww1.org.uk/camouflage-trees/ https://historywithatwist.wordpress....world-war-one/ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#axzz2K8hz8ZgZ |

All my 1960s work has got me casting back a few decades, but one of the scenarios I've been working on involves unexploded M55 rockets...
