August 18, 1944. Pvt. Alfred Roberts of Tarrytown, NY and Pvt. Louis Peters of New York, NY in a DUKW which they use to transfer ammunition from a Liberty Ship to the Coast of France. These men have been operating with their company since D-Day.I got this photo from the national Archives. This is a scan of a photocopy. I'm not sure if I will order a print for the book's interior or not.
Interesting blog. I'm following my Dads wartime experiences in real time from Jan'45 to end of hostilities. He was a tail gunner in Lancasters.
ReplyDeleteA wealth of info for the American researcher here.
Great job.

Hi Alistair, thanks for the comment. I've added you blog to my list.
ReplyDeleteI was in your neck of the woods back in 1999. I was in Edinburgh for just a day and in Arbroath for a week.
