Summary
In a view taken from above, twenty-nine Tenth Mountain Division soldiers march around a curve in a road towards a bridge over a small creek. A covered truck is begining its crossing as a soldier driving a camuflaged weasle (a treaded mitlitary vehicle designed for snow) is just clearing the bridge. Seven more weasles are parked on a small road beside piles of suplies. One weasel heads down a steep slope towards the small road. A large tent is pitched aross the creek. Snow covers the ground. According to the captions the image was taken near Mount Grande and near Lizzano and this was the supply point for troops at Mount Belvedere and Gorgolesco, during the Italian campaign; the marching men were on their way back from the front lines.
