British Soldiers Prepare a Dugout
Soldiers of B Company, 14 Sherwood Foresters prepare a dugout in front of the ruins of the 'Factory' at Aprilia after its final capture. These buildings were the scene of a fierce battle and the point from which the Germans launched their most serious attack which nearly resulted in the collapse of the bridgehead in February.
