Visualizing History: Normandy 4

The Wounded


At Normandy, as on any other battlefield there were the "lucky
ones," the wounded who survived. It is only in the chaos of war that injury brings a temporary respite. Here, soldiers of the 16th Infantry Regiment, await evacuation near Collville-sur-Mer, Normandy, France on 6 June 1944.
