Normandie, juillet 1944 Chambre noire de Life, même mois Épreuve argentique, 125x203 mm, cachet militaire daté The Beaches Were Now Secure, Normandy, July 1944 Printed in Life's London Office Darkroom Vintage gelatin silver print, 125x203 mm, wartime press censor wetstamps with date The beaches were now secure but a fierce battle continued for St. Lô. My London housemate, Life's Frank Scherschel, was sharing a house near the beach with Bede Irvin, an AP photographer. I was intending to work with Bede on July 25th but Frank insisted I go with him. That day Bede died in one of the worst incidents of friendly fire in U.S. history. Had I not gone with Frank that day, I would probably lie beside Bede Irvin today in the cemetery at Omaha Beach.
