Caption
  • Fleming's description typed and written on the reverse side of the image reads, in full: "On the hill above Margarethkruz, see B-4&5, was this Forward Observation unit which was help-ing the Artillery direct its fire on the towns below. Particularly at night they would spot enemy guns by their locations to our own batteries. Here was my first birds-eye view of war, the so-called front lines being sever miles distant. The fellow showed me what towns had been taken and what had not. Big puffs of smoke and dirt would occasionally jump up over the "had nots". Near Königswinter -- 21 March 45."
