Paratroopers get final instructions before leaving for Normandy. RG-208-MO-10H, National Archives.
Looks like they are jumping with rifles ready. Wonder how that worked.

There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Stuffed behind the reserve. Maybe a Carbine or Thomson, but they did it before so I think they new what they were doing. Boy they are loaded down and when their parachute opens it's a jolt. Thanks for the pic Mark.....Frank
