I think this might have been an office or a store, into which this ownerless donkey wandered.  Except for the blurred memories that peak out from my photos like this one, I have blocked out almost all of the details of that part of the war. The scorched earth policy of the retreating German Army combined with the results of the many months of fierce fighting over every foot of the way from the Sangro to Ortona, have left few buildings intact and most civilians destitute.
