Tl r ,5 i , ii nu-.4 , '..'2 4., ,,,,,, '-' f shui., The invasion of Southern France, from where troops in khaki soon met the boys in Normandy, is on. Again we shell the beach, and again the Army goes ashore. Casualties this time are light and soon the enemy is in such headlong retreat that our soldiers are hard put to keep up. l ,fjjzf Q-my WY!

9- v. uf' Ashore the Army medics care for civilians as well as soldiers. The French populace is most vociferous in its dislike of the Nazi. The weather holds out beautifully clear and warmg so we know why the Riviera is so popular. We enjoyed it from a distance. The Captain on the bridge discusses battle problems as shells miss us as before. Admirals arrive and depart by PT boat, While the boys in RDO V lead a leisurely existence. The invasion quiets down and we leave the battle area.
