A great column of Axis prisoners in the desert

Seen against the light, a wide, dark band of men on foot fills the middle of the picture from edge to edge, standing or walking in close order on the pale sand; an armoured vehicle with two men on its top stands at the left, and a telegraph pole rises on the right. The source speaks of many German prisoners. After El Alamein some thirty thousand German and Italian soldiers went into British captivity.
