This picture was taken on Lee Miller's her first assignment in Europe covering the war. The piece which was written and photographically illustrated by Lee was published in British Vogue, titled ‘Unarmed Warriors’ and in American Vogue as ‘USA Tent Hospital in France’. Her opening lines are striking and show how close she still felt to the country she had lived in over 10 years before; ‘As we flew into sight of France I swallowed hard on what were trying to be trying to be tears and remembered a motive actress kissing a handful of earth. My self-conscious analysis was forgotten in greedily studying the soft, grey skied panorama of nearly a thousand square miles of France... of freed France’ - British Vogue, September 1944.
