Summary
U.S. Army <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_Sherman" class="extiw" title="en:M4 Sherman">M4 "Sherman" tanks</a> of Company A, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/741st_Tank_Battalion_(United_States)" class="extiw" title="en:741st Tank Battalion (United States)">741st Tank Battalion</a> and other equipment loaded in an LCT, ready for the invasion of France, circa late May or early June 1944. One tank has a welded hull. The other (marked "USA 3036947") has a cast armor hull. Both have extended air intakes for operations in water. Note the markings "1A-741Δ" ("First Army - 741st Tank Bn") on the trailer are consistent with what should be found on a 741st vehicle. USS LCT-213 is tied up alongside and several LSTs are anchored out in the harbor of this southern English port.
