An American bulldozer, D7 Caterpillar with an angledozer and LeTourneau equipment clear a street with Valognes

An American bulldozer, D7 Caterpillar with an angledozer and LeTourneau equipment baptized "booger kid" stop holes of bombs on a road of the Norman scrap-metal in the west of Saint-Lo. See here: Behind plane a convoy is stopped on the left side at the head Half Track, the men belong to the 30th US ID which will cover the left side of the opening of Operation Cobra on July 25, 1944. On this pulling the badge of shoulder of the GI on the left is censured. Reference page 293 of the book US First Army, Heimdal, 2004. The registration of this D7 is censured. 45130 is the TQM of the unit, in order to mask with the enemy the units a number is assigned with each company, which is deferred (only the figure of ten and the unit according to a color) on the vehicles, effects, etc... 1-A means First Army. With the museum of Bayeux one can see Caterpillar taking again this marking. See here: picasaweb.google.com/dudu757/MMorialDeLaBatailleDeNormand... picasaweb.google.com/dudu757/MMorialDeLaBatailleDeNormand... It acts of a bulldozer having been useful in the British army and, after having filled its office in many places and, in particular for the construction of the ALG, it found itself in Caen where he took part in the clearing of the ruins of the city. Much later the Fields sold it with the careers of Mouen which resold it to the sand pits enters Vaux on Seulles and Bayeux. With end of breath, it was offered in gift to the town of Bayeux for its museum. It was repaints according to this photograph but to in no case it does not act of an original déco. Moreover the stencil key sets having been used for markings are, although US, different

Thank you for the posting of the unbodied Matador it really helps to make sense of the arrangement , and I can understand the things I thought were levers are in fact the front cab mount springs Thank You !

GMC's doing a usual job of moving troops where they are needed American soldiers of Asian origin in the trucks GMC. This photograph is on this site: libweb.hawaii.edu/libdept/archives/mss/aja/signalcorps/fr... but we estimate that it is not a question as indicated of Chambois which is in the Flowering ash but of Charmois-in front of-Heathers in the Vosges. These men thus belong to 442nd RCT Nisei Indeed this RCT unloaded in Provence after a campaign of Italy and never was in Normandy. See here: http://www.homeofheroes.com/moh/nisei/index6_vosges.html fr.mailarchive.ca/soc.politique/2006-10/8644.html To go further: fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nisei fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/442_RCT At the beginning of the episode 10 "The War" the documentary one of Ken Burns one sees these trucks filmed under another angle, they progress of face since the line of the image. Also an interview of a veteran who is very severe on the commander of the 36th US ID to which was attached 442nd RCT to see here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_E._Dahlquist

Many different vehicles were used as need to carry wounded and medical supplies an example this GMC CCKW note the flag above the hood. Point noted I have Corrected title of photo In a village in ruins a GMC passes behind destroyed Panzer. It acts of Panzer IV of the 2 Panzer-Division (the three-pronged fork is visible on the frontal shielding side controls) formed part of the 8 Kompanie of Panzer Abteilung II of Panzer-Regiment 3 which blocked circulation with the crossroads of the center of Bridge-Farcy, it was pushed back on the other side of the crossroads.

Bicycles shown here are American models , Many were also purchased or err ammmm aaah borrowed from villages and town's across Britian while Allied soldiers were stationed there during WWII On a ship of the USN, a batch of bicycles is raised by means of a crane US Army (the paras of 1942 with until February 44 see themselves allocating bicycles) and the USAAF (to some extent of the military models for other of the civil models coming from the surrounding villages in the United Kingdom). The US army has its own models (in two man types bars of slightly round framework horizontal standardized in October 42 and woman tallies in "V" standardized in February 43. Except the framework, saddle and the pinion the remainder is identical) the manufacturers are Huffman Manufacturing Co & Westfield Manufacturing Co alone of the minor details differentiates two manufacture, mudguard, drawing of the plate. But all is interchangeable, towards the end of the war the round form leaves place with a tube of horizontal framework. One of these cycles is with the museum of Ste Mère Church.

This appeared in the local paper a little while ago , The writer has been visiting each of the WWII crash sites across Nebraska

the Henry Doorly mentioned in the artical also founded a Zoo named in his honor here in Omaha, While some or most of the materials collected may not have been used for the war effort as others have said , it did have a impact in getting the public envolved in the War effort

It seems that this narrow gage locomotive does not weigh much as the tires and suspention are not showing signs of any overloading . Note the " wall " composed of PSP or pierced steel planking.

Great photo's , added bonus with all the period kit and others in uniform !
