Allied Soldiers
Image
Allied soldiers gathered near an entrance to an unknown establishment. A sign in French above the entrance is not legible, but there is an image of a cricket and the words: "Le Grillon." The man squatting in the middle is smoking a pipe, and the man next to him appears to be holding a grenade in each of his hands.
