CMP FAT recovering 88-mm gun.

Original Toronto Star caption: "Retreating Germans abandoned this 88 mm. gun in perfect condition when they scurried away from the victorious British Eighth army. Although the enemy was only a few thousand yards ahead at the time; poor visibility prevented their noticing this recovery crew The fact that no one took time to destroy the gun's firing mechanism indicates the haste with which the Nazis fell back. Several times during the advance; so much equipment fell into British hands that days were required to sort it out.
Date: 12/5/1942"
