800 yards from the enemy lines, British infantry are entrenched on the 5th Army main
800 yards from the enemy lines, British infantry are entrenched on the 5th Army main front in Italy.
By day they live under fire from enemy mortar shells. At night, they come into their own and take the war far in to the enemy lines.
They make the best of circumstances and dig in to live as comfortably as possible, never losing the sense of humour for which the British Tommy is famed.
Picture shows: Sergeant B.H. Sheasby of Southampton writes a letter home, while Private M. Morris of Middlesborough has a shave.
Issued: February 1944
