Two photos, before and after.
The first photo are the 36th Combat Engineers landing on Red Beach in Southern France.
According to Captain John Fallon,
"...is Red Beach on 15 August 1944. Apparently this picture was taken in the late PM as there is no enemy action. This was the extreme left , Western, side of the landing. If I am not mistaken that tall guy looking at the jeep trying to get ashore is Sgt Holley, 1st Sgt of H Company."
