American soldiers in the Ardennes (Belgium; Battle of the Bulge, December 1944) are taking a moment away from the rigors of combat to relax. One of the standing soldiers is holding a 2.36 inch (60mm) Rocket Launcher M1. The jeep has snow chains on for better traction and looks to have a parachute on its hood.
