## Caption

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. ⠀
