Soldiers take cover as shells burst beside a gun

In a meadow before a line of fir trees soldiers in helmets press themselves flat into the grass while explosions throw up dark clouds of smoke and earth beside a gun and a truck; one man half rises on his elbow; next to a gun with its barrel raised steeply a crouching figure turns away as another burst darkens the sky behind. According to the older catalogue the fighting in Norway, spring 1940.
