48th filling canteens- On the advance to Adrano Sicily – July 1943

Canadians in Sicily

Ignoring the Germans, who were shelling the vicinity with mortars, men of a company of the 48th Highlanders of Canada, stopped by this Sicilian well for a refreshing drink of cool water. Temperatures in Sicily were in the 40s centigrade, making marching an ongoing challenge. This photograph was taken during the Canadian advance from Regalbuto to Adrano. Cpl Arthur Gaston, Cpl Joseph Gauthier, Cpl Moses (old man Moses) Pte Kotak, Pte Cameron Cole. (Canadian Army Overseas Photo) P1426
