As we approach the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Landings, gettyarchive will here be sharing historic images as the operation unfolded.⠀ Taken on the 4th June 1944, this photograph shows a group of United States Rangers from E Company, 5th Ranger Battalion, on board a landing craft assault vessel in Weymouth harbour, England. The ship is bound for Omaha Beach in Normandy. ⠀ Clockwise, from far left: First Sergeant Sandy Martin, who was killed during the landing, Technician Fifth Grade Joseph Markovich, Corporal John Loshiavo and Private First Class Frank E. Lockwood. They are holding a 60mm mortar, a Bazooka, a Garand rifle and a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes. ⠀ Follow our bio link for more D-Day coverage.⠀ 📷: Galerie Bilderwelt/Getty Images | #gettyarchive⠀ #dday #dday75 #omahabeach #galeriebilderwelt⠀ #wwii #history #ww2 #remember #warhistory #historyincolour #worldwartwo #wwiihistory #frontline #warphotography #militaryhistory #photojournalism #reportage #warveterans #secondworl...
