Wounded American soldiers ferried from France.

Wounded American soldiers ferried from France. American soldiers, wounded in the Battle of Normandy, lie on the deck of a U.S. landing craft anchored off the French coast. The craft will carry them across the Channel to England for hospitalization. During the liberation of the Cherbourg Peninsula, the Americans suffered more than 25,000 casualties, but captured 42,500 in knocking out the equivalent of six enemy divisions.
