Original Toronto Star caption: Mud Again has caused lots of trouble to Allied soldiers on the Fifth Army front in Italy. Recent rains have been heavy; causing many field-pieces to bog down as the advance is pressed against the Nazis. The 4.5 medium field-gun; above; came to grief trying to make a turn on a horseshoe bend; falling into a stream. The man digging away earth and mud from the mried gun is a fitter from the Royal Ordance Corps.

Treasure of Whiterock Estates, Ronald Bluestein sits in his office in downtown Toronto explaining his company's real estate operations in Ontario.
