- Caption
- Fleming's caption typed on reverse side of image reads, in full: "Statue of Beethoven amid the ruins of his native city, Bonn. Official pictures of this by Sig C got quite a spread in US papers. That's T/3 Kitzero standing there, little realizing that in three months he'd be on his way home and out of the army - the second highest point man in the company. Less than a block from this statue was the photo shop basement where my matchlight I located the 40 rolls of 127 film without which this would have been among the last shots for me as well as the first. Bonn, Ger - - March 14, '45 Verichrome" NOTE: "Sig C" refers to Signal Corps, and "T/3" refers to the military rank of Technician Third Grade.
