Title	Eating while listening for German artillery
Creator(s)	Rocker, Richard A.
Summary	Two GIs eat rations from their mess kits around a jeep. One sits in the passenger seat using the hood as a table while the other stands behind him using a small bench at the rear of the jeep to hold his plate and cup. They eat among the rubble of a shelled town, probably Pietra Colora. According to the photographer they are listening to the sound of German artillery falling nearby and preparing to take cover if the rounds start falling closer.
