United States 92nd Infantry Division patrol being briefed by an African American officer in Italy during World War II.

United States 92nd Infantry Division consisting of African American soldiers in Latignano, in the Comune of Cascina (Pisa) Italy during World War 2. A U.S. Army Captain of the Division briefs members of a patrol, using a pointer to highlight places on a field map. A Lieutenant, smoking a cigarette, and several other soldiers listen to him. The map is an aerial photograph, detailed down to individual small houses. The Captain unfolds two more photographs showing blow-ups of certain places. After discussing the photographs, the Captain stands up, places a rifle on the ground as a reference, and then places pebbles on the map and uses his pointer to describe locations of units, and other information relevant to the mission, as patrol members listen. (Note: reportedly, most of the map represents the Commune of Vicopisano (PI) at North of Arno.)
