Good Monday morning to all. Time again for the 90th Infantry Division – Picture of the Week. This photo is dedicated to a friend and follower of the site, Tristan in France. Tristan is especially interested in the World War II history of his region, particularly the Allied push through the Falaise Gap in the summer of 1944. This one’s for you, Tristan!
