“I love the infantry because they are the underdogs. They are the mud-rain-frost-and-wind boys. They have no comforts, and they even learn to live without the necessities. And in the end they are the guys that wars can't be won without.”

Ernie Pyle

The following images are a collection of military maps from various sources that cover the period of time from the D-Day Invasion (June 6th ) to the liberation of Paris (August 25th) in France. On each map I have added notes to clarify the status of Jack and his division during that time period.
