My ambulance was attached to this Artillery unit during the last month of the battle for Tunis. I worked under Doc. Brown, a great guy. Here the big guns are aimed at Takrouna, a small town on a rocky crag where the Italians were holding their last stand.

Location: 51st Medium Artillery, Enfidaville, Tunisia.
