    Army Medicine History

    Carentan, morning of 13 June 1944. The town, which provided a crucial link between Utah and Omaha beaches, had fallen to the 101st airborne division. As the enemy pressed a counterattack, the lightly armed Americans held them off until tanks of the 2d Armored Division arrived forcing the enemy to a final retreat. A road outside Carentan was nicknamed “Bloody Gulch” by American troops during the fighting.

    This imagined seeing depicts a courier from the 66th Armored Regiment being treated by a medic from the 326th Airborne medical Company after having been thrown from his motorcycle on the streets of Carentan the morning of the battle.

    Currently on display at the AMEDD Museum, JBSA, Fort Sam Houston, Texas
