- Summary:
- Description: Coast Guard LCT bringing out wounded soldiers during invasion of France in Normandy. Caption: "2421. From: Public Relations Division. U.S. Coast Guard. Washington, D.C. Official Coast Guard Photo. Beachheads come high. Row and row of stretchers cover the decks of a Coast Guard LCT (Landing Craft Tank) bringing out wounded invaders from the flaming soil of France. These American and British soldiers fell somewhere between the invasion beach and Cherbourg as Nazi defenders sought a high price in casualties for every yard they yielded. The wounded are being transferred to a Coast Guard assault transport which will carry them back to England for hospitalization." Presumably Normandy.
