WW2 Vet with M1 Carbine in Normandy

[Brasidas]

Here's another photo of my Dad carrying a M1 carbine in WW2. This one was taken in Normandy, June 1944.

He's the guy on the left carrying a carbine. The guy on the right is a friend and the guy in the center is a Chaplain!

He was a FO for the 47th reg of the 9th Infantry Division but was frequently assigned to other units, as needed.

They are standing on a German pillbox that he had just destroyed with naval gunfire.

He passed away last April at the age of 93.

Proud thing to have a father who served in WWII. Your pride will undoubtedly live on through many generations. Great picture and great father!
