Subdeacon Joe Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 One you don't see often. Here's a Normandy Beach landing photo they don't show you in textbooks. Brave women of the Red Cross arriving in 1944 to help the injured troops. U.S. nurses walk along a beach in Normandy, France on July 4, 1944, after they had waded through the surf from their landing craft. They are on their way to field hospitals to care for the wounded allied soldiers Quote
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 God bless then all. I would bet that they were a welcome sight to some wounded guys. Quote

Adolph Vancinghand, SASS #28923 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks Joe, I have to wonder if maybe one of these brave gals tended to my father's wounds shortly after these pictures were taken. The timing is spookily accurate as he went ashore at Normandy on D plus 30 as I recall... That his right arm was ultimately salvaged is testament to the skill of the men and women providing medical care all the way from the field back to the States. Unsung heroes and heroines, to be sure.
