Original caption

SPECIALISTS PREPARE TO LAND ON BEACHHEADS OF WESTERN EUROPE. The "follow-up" invasion of foreign soil. "Breathe deeply, buddy." An X-ray technician of the Medical Corps in the E.T.O. presses the hand-held release which opens the shutter of this portable X-ray unit. It is only one of thousands of intricate and fragile mechanisms which will follow the invasion army. England, January 18, 1944.
