American soldier PFC Edward Shea (of 27 Wentworth Street, Dorchester, Massachusetts) fills up his jeep at the petrol station in Burton Bradstock, Dorset. According to the original caption, the gas station has been taken over by the army. PFC Shea is helped by local boys Freddy and Chris Kerley, Barry Kneale and Billy Hubbard: one boy works the petrol pump, one holds back the seat, one holds the hose and another cleans the windscreen.
There is still a garage there today!
