DetailsThe war is surely already over for this captain of the 82nd American Airborne Division. Wounded by grenade blasts in his hand from the first days of combat, this officer had to be amputated by several phalanges during a surgical operation conducted in a field hospital located in Utah Beach. The fighting is over for him, but convalescence begins. One thing remains for him to do, waiting for the ship to be repatriated to Great Britain, hoping one day to be able to rejoin his brothers in arms.
