Original caption

How U. S. paratroopers are training in England. A few minutes ago, these men and their 75mm houltzer were in the air. They bailed out of their C-47 plane, the gun coming down in sections. Nine paratroopers having assembled the gun, it is now moved to a less vulnerable position during maneuvers in the European Theater of Operations. England, November 23, 1943.
