Dad remembers while looking at the photo in 2003:
We are unloading ammmunition off 2 1/2 ton truck.
There is a row of light tanks are in the background.
The tanks are most likely "F" Company, 92 Armored Squadron "Mecz"
"We were right in the middle of it" Dad remembers.
Dad remembers this is where a half-track came with the dead body of Captain of "A" Troop.
