Young Soldier

Injured while storming Omaha Beach on D-Day, these US army soldiers sat to recover after the landings in Normandy, France. Taken on June 6, 1944, none of the men in this photograph have ever been identified. It's unknown whether they lived to tell their stories, or perished in the battles. Not many people left the fighting unscathed, several retained injuries for years.
