Summary edit

Description
English: Embarquement sur les navires, début juin 1944 - Opération Overlord

Ce cliché exceptionnel en couleurs, pris en Angleterre début juin 1944, comporte une foule de détails intéressants. On y voit des soldats de la 1st Infantry Division US, des troupes blindées (voir à gauche deux patches, certainement 741st Tk Bn ou 745th Tk Bn) et des brigades spéciales du génie (5th ou 6th ESB pour Omaha). Voir le second GI à droite qui salue avec sa main gantée, arc de cercle blanc sur le casque et sur la manche le formation badge, voir ici: www.flickr.com/photos/mlq/2220593712/ Les véhicules sont généralement munis de filets de camouflage où sont glissées des bandes de toile de jute. Sur la jeep surnommée " Blondie ", un morceau de bois sert à bloquer le jerrycan dans son support. Des bâtons de toutes sortes, parfois coupés directement sur l'arbre, servent à maintenir les tubes de franchissement. Le soldat au premier plan a ligaturé les courroies de ses bretelles de suspension avec du papier collant.
