TUNISIA. THE BRITISH FIRST ARMY POSITIONS FORWARD OF CHAOUACH WERE IN COUNTRY SO MOUNTAINOUS THAT EVEN A BREN CARRIER CANNOT REACH THEM, SO THE EVER-IMPROVISING INFANTRY FALL BACK ON MULES AND HORSES. TWO MULES ARE TAKING A LOAD OF WATER IN JERRICANS TO FORWARD TROOPS. (THE JERRICAN IS THE NEW TYPE PETROL CONTAINER). IN THE BACKGROUND IS THE RECENTLY CAPTURED VILLAGE OF CHAOUACH, WITH ITS MINARET STANDING OUT AGAINST A BACKCLOTH OF MOUNTAINS.
