Army troops on board a LCT, ready to ride across the English Channel to France. Some of these men wear 4th Infantry Division or 101st Airborne Division insignia.

June 12th 1944.

I saw 4 Garands and 2 carbines

I wonder if they'd still be smilin' so widely if it were explained that they were going over to replace all the guys killed six days before...and they likely wouldn't last a week.
