- French soldiers relax in a Foyer du Soldat, which had been recently opened somewhere in France. While most of the soldiers sit at tables and read, others stand in the back of the building near a canteen bar. The building is decorated with French and Allied flags as a patriotic message and to remind the soldiers that they were not fighing alone.
