Troops in a jeep tow light artillary through a street in Carontel, France the first French town taken by the Allied soldiers.
Apparently the caption SHOULD read... "Paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division look on as a jeep drives by towing a British
6-pounder Mark III antitank gun through Carentan"...
Not sure about the ID of that field piece though.
Jim-- Caption read, Boys- Look what I found! LOL
Interesting that, apparently, all the street signs have been left up and not taken down like they were in the UK early in the war.
Rue Holgate in Carontel.

Well...Carentan, but whatever way you want to pronounce it. That's Rue Holgate in Carentan. It was a mis spell by the photo editor.
