Home on the Side of a Cliff
Fifth Army, Lagaro Area, Italy. Using the face of a sand-stone cliff, bales of hay and sand bags, gunner Aen. Christionsen, Cpl G.H. Christian and Bombardier H.B. Reid have built a rather snug little billet near their gun positions south of Bologna. They are members of the 6th South African Armored Division, and hail from Johannesburg, South Africa.
