Original caption

This photo from the European Theatre of Operations shows forces of the U. S. Army engaged in amphibious maneuvers, in preparation for the big invasion job. As landing operations continue during this E.T.O. maneuver, Chemical Warfare Service smoke pots on the beach completely blank out the harbor. With such protective covering, enemy shell fire will be less accurate.
