8th Army- the Drive To Bologna and Ferrara
Bologna fell to 8th and 5th Army troops on 21 April. This picture is one of a series taken during the advance to the city. This particular image shows an old Italian woman sitting mourning in the ruins with a coffin waiting for the dead. Despite a warning to get out of the town before the Allied air attack, many people remained.
