Caption

It appears this is an image Fleming shot with a camera issued to him (not his own like most of this collection consists of). In this case he has not typed and/or written the caption on the reverse side of the image. Instead the information is mimeographed (?) onto the reverse side of the image, in full: "ETO HQ 45 22050 19 Mar Credit...U S Army Signal Corps Photog-M Fleming 165 Russian and Polish civilians go through all the goods in a German owned corner store at the edge of Neichen, Germany, in the 1st Division Sector, 1st U S Army. The store had been hit by shell fire, and deserted by its owner. (D) 1st Div Sector, FUSA, Neichen, Germany" Below the above-mentioned caption is another mimeographed (?) stamp-like note, in full: "To Be Published Field Press Censor 106 Shaef 23 Mar 1945 Name D 165 Confidential" Fleming's caption typed on a separate sheet of paper, in full: "Russian and Polish civilians go through all the goods in a German-owned corner store at the edge of Neichen, Germany in the 1st Division Sector, 1st U S Army.
