And now we are in Italy, up amongst the / Dolomite Alps, looking at a group of Italian / soldiers and officers. To our right is an offi/cer wearing a military cape, and next to him / is another officer who is explaining the mech-/anism of this novel gun, which one of the / men standing about has asked a question. / All are more or less interested. One officer / in the background is manifesting his weari-/ness by "yawning." Can you find him? / [extended text] / Copyright by Underwood & Underwood.
