Apremont - St. Mihiel

Apremont - St. Mihiel

Hoffman, Peter B.

An allied soldier is standing at the top of the hill. He has his outer jacket off and is holding it with his left arm. His right hand is holding the butt of his gun and resting the gun over his right soldier. He is looking off towards the left side of the photograph. He is standing on a cleared off path on a hill with a soldier behind him, walking up the hill. The soldier behind him is wearing a helmet and carrying objects in his hands that are at his sides. To the left of the photograph and right of the soldier at the top of the hill is some sort of wheel, possibly for a pulley system. There is also a fence at the side. There appears to be a camp at the base of the hill, in the background, as well as flat lands beyond the camp with trees and shrubbery. This area was a part of the Battle of St. Mihiel near the Apremont forest in France.
