stealthytyler Posted January 22, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 22, 2015 I got a crack out of this photo. This sailor was in my grandfathers platoon. They were part of the 4th Naval Beach Battalion. They captured a number of Germans after landing on a beach north of Sainte Maxime during Operation Dragoon (invasion of Southern France). This photo was taken a few days after the landings in an apartment complex across the road from the main beach at Sainte Maxime. Notice the M1928 haversack on the ground and the canteen on the desk. (wish the photo was not blurry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
