First person: D-Day + 15 on Omaha Beach by Sid Birns

Par Sid Birns le 3 juin 2014

Birns_DD.jpgThe port of embarkation in the south of England was wet and mudddy.  No matter where you looked, all you could see were soldiers going in and out of tents surrounded by all kinds of equipment that would be used once we landed in Normandy.

The invasion force was in front of us having landed on June 6th, 1944, D-Day. The invasion of Fortress Europe was on and we were waiting our turn to board the landing craft.
