About the Author:

Jon Gawne is considered one of the leading experts on the history of American Army uniforms and equipment in both world wars. His numerous articles for Militaria Magazine have covered everything from the shortage of winter clothing during the Battle of the Bulge to the history of dog tags. His writings have been translated into many languages, including French, Italian and Czech, and are equally popular in both Europe and the US. He has been a technical consultant for films and museums. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife and a small spoiled dog, in a house overrun with books, documents and military memorabilia.

Synopsis:

This is a collection of World War II colour photographs of GIs preparing for the invasion of Europe in 1944, taken from previously unreleased archives in the USA. The pictures show the battle dress as it was really worn. The text is in both French and English.
