Fred Grossman in Bengasi
Pvt. Fred Grossman of Dayton, Ohio, hands a piece of cake to native children outside the grating of a cafe in Bengasi, Cirenaica, Libya. Yanks on short leave to Bengasi are popular with youngsters for the candy they carry and with the oldsters for the made-in-America cigarettes which can always cinch a deal when pounds, piastres, and persuasion fail to get results.
