Description
A young girl walks with a container on her head beside two Salvadoran Army soldiers in the town of San Agustín, Usulután. Both soldiers carry their assault rifles, but one carries a bandolier over his shoulder. There is a crowd of people behind them. The guerrillas occupied the town for 24 hours and then retreated to the hills to avoid needless civilian casualties in combat with the Salvadoran Army. Una joven camina con un contenedor en su cabeza al lado de dos soldados del ejército salvadoreño en el pueblo de San Agustín. Los dos soldados cargan sus fusiles, pero uno carga municiones sobre su hombro. Hay un grupo de gente detrás de ellos. Los guerrilleros ocuparon el pueblo por 24 horas pero retrocedieron hacia las montañas para prevenir muertes innecesarias en caso de combate con el ejército salvadoreño.
