This photograph from Norman Baget's WWII album depicts a 155mm howitzer battery dug in under camouflage netting near a French village, hand-labeled "155 M How." Baget served with the 44th Infantry Division, which fought through the Alsace-Lorraine region of France in the fall and winter of 1944-45. Field artillery units like this one provided crucial fire support for advancing infantry, often operating from hastily established bivouacs in farmers' fields as the division pushed toward the German border.
