  • Description: A bulldozer tows a 40-ton semi-trailer, its wheels on fire, along a cycle-path parallel to the main Veghel- s'Hertogenbosch Road near Dinther; its towing vehicle, a US-manufactured Ward la France tractor, is also well ablaze presumably after being hit by German artillery fire aimed at harassing traffic on the main road.
