Here are the latest negatives I processed. I think I will stop at three
Faces if War.
This is quite possible that the guy in the middle has just passed. The one to the left with his and over his face might have lost a friend. The soldier to the right was probably a medic or performing medic duties (All combat soldiers have some triage training).
The crush of battle
We can see at least a half dozen soldiers hunkered down & crawling, trying to advance this hill. There are probably enemy forces/snipers, waiting to pick off anyone who pops up. Notice that all of the trees that are ragged stumps. This is most likely from repeated air-strikes or artillery to "prep" battlefield.
I imagine the photographer might have been kneeling to take this shot. This would have been risky.
These negatives were pretty scratched & dirty. Took about an hour to clean up both. These are almost 75 years old.
