February 14, 1943:

• "February 14-25: Americans and Germans clash at the Battle of Kasserine Pass, Tunisia."

"After their humiliating defeat at the hands of German forces in February 1943, U.S. forces, reinforced by the British troops of General Harold Alexander, rallied to retake the Kasserine Pass and block the German effort to capture Tébessa, Algeria.
If the Germans had succeeded, they would have kept British and American troops from joining forces, a tactic key to winning the battle for Tunisia. Here, American soldiers salvage equipment."

As I prepare future threads I just came across the photo you posted in the NY Times of March 18. The caption is “U.S. soldiers with spoils of war taken in successful counter-attack in Kasserine Pass Feb. 22 and 23.”
