Three men in US army uniform pose in a wrecked house

Three men pause for a song on the remains of a piano in the ruins of a French house. They are not armed and the shoulder patch of one of the men shows a white triangle with a light blue US over a light blue background. This was the insignia of civilians in the employ of the War Department, or a company contracted to the War Department. They are probably members of "Operation Crossbow" which was the Allied codename for a series of countermeasures against the German long range weapons programme.
