Walled in by nature. A view of the city of Elbasan in Albania. It is situated on one of the rockiest and most barren parts of Albania and its only lines of communication with the outside world are mountain trails. The American Red Cross had to bring its supplies in by pack mules and ox carts. The town is almost a law unto itself, rarely having any visitors from the outside world. The people were hit hard by the War and are especially appreciative of the aid that came from America
