Summary

Description
English: The Drive for Messina 10 July - 17 August 1943: The British advance onto the Catania Plain required the capture of the Primosole and Malati bridges before the retreating Axis forces could destroy them. Some of the fiercest fighting of the campaign took place between German and British airborne troops, supported by infantry and artillery during 13 -16 July before the British captured the bridges intact. The Royal Engineers are shown repairing damage to the Primosole Bridge over the Simeto River after its capture.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
