28 Dec 2022 Garand Picture of the Day
Infantry Landing on the Beach near Fedala. The landing itself was unopposed, but fighting developed just off the beach.
On 8 November 1942, U.S. forces faced their first major opposed amphibious landings of World War II during Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of French
North Africa. The Americans came ashore at three locations in French Morocco, with the largest contingent (19,000 GIs) arriving at Fedala, just east of Casablanca, in Operation Brushwood.
A total of 19,364 officers and men were involved in the attack. Three regimental landing groups (RLGs) from the 7th, 15th, and 30th Infantry Regiments of the 3rd Infantry Division
Unloading Equipment in Fedala Harbor. Waterproofed jeep coming off LCV. Note LCM in upper left. (Craft, upper left: LCM(3); upper right: LCV)

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
