I found this video today and was impressed with the quality of the footage so I thought maybe some of y'all might appreciate seeing it. I've seen segments of it before, but in black and white. In color, the detail and clarity is much greater than I've seen before.
A few things that stood out: A sailor in a gun turret helping operate a pair of what looked like 40mm cannons while in shorts and barefoot. The scenes of the beach head full of equipment was new to me. It makes sense but was surprising how much material was packed into a small area.
In one scene, some stretcher bearers are transporting a casualty as an artillery shell screams in. They drop the stretcher with the man on it and dive for cover just before the shell explodes in front of the camera. The narrator said they were carrying a kia, but he didn't look dead to me when they dropped him. I think it was this footage that I remember reading that the cameraman was killed by the explosion.
If you haven't seen it, its well worth checking out.
