EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the American 302nd Parachute Infantry Regiment Memorial, also known as the Cabbage Patch, located in the heart of Carentan, Normandy, France. The memorial honors the brave soldiers of the 302nd Parachute Infantry Regiment who fought valiantly during the D-Day landings on June 11, 1944. At the forefront of the charge was Lt. Col. Robert G. Cole, who led his men in a daring bayonet attack against the German forces in this area. This charge is believed to be the first bayonet charge in Europe since Major Pat Porteous's heroic action in Dieppe in 1942. Cole's courageous leadership earned him the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration in the United States. The Cabbage Patch memorial stands as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of the American soldiers who fought in the Battle of Carentan. The image of the memorial, with its crosses and wreaths, evokes a sense of solemnity and reverence, reminding us of the sacrifices made by these brave men during the pivotal moments of World War II. This print offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the American soldiers during the D-Day landings and the Battle of Carentan. It is a powerful reminder of the courage and determination that defined the Allied forces during their campaign to liberate Europe from the grip of the Axis powers.
