Description
A patrol of No. 5 Platoon of B Company, 9th Battalion, in charge of Lieutenant King, searching dugouts during a daylight advance of A and B Companies near Cappy. The enemy had been seen at these dugouts a few minutes before, but were found to have returned to the village some 300 yards away. Notice the Mills bombs carried in the hands of the two rear men. The object of the photograph was to obtain, if possible, a picture of the enemy in the act of surrendering.
