Crossed rifles in the sand are a comrade’s tribute to this American soldier who sprang ashore from a landing barge and died at the barricades of Western Europe.
A US soldier, greeted by death upon his arrival at the shores of Normandy - 6 June 1944
The last thing he saw was the sand. The last taste in his mouth, the sea.
