Red Beach at Gela -- 1700, July 10
Late afternoon of D-Day at Gela, Sicily, troops make their way inland over the dunes in unending procession, while an LST, hit a short while earlier, burns fiercely offshore. Wounded are being brought back to the beach to be evacuated aboard the transports. An anti-aircraft position is seen atop the largest dunes and other forces maintaining the beach itself are digging in for the first night on Sicilian soil.
