Original caption

Bodies of American soldiers, formerly of the 28th Division, found dead in the Ardennes sector. All evidence seems to point toward German atrocity, since bodies were lined up in ordearly fashion, with the only wounds being bullet holes in the head. (D) Found by 2nd Bn, 11th Regt. 5th Inf Div., 2 miles N.E. of Hoscheiderdickt, Luxembourg
