In the first days following the D-Day landing, LSTs brought back continuous streams of wounded and German prisoners of war. This scene is on the "hards" (concrete ramps simulating a beach in a deep-water harbor) where LSTs unloaded at a southern English port. These were British Royal Marines, who hit the British beaches before any other assault troops. Ambulances were waiting further back to take them to hospitals. To onlookers who were not with the invasion fleet who witnessed this return, there was the terrible fascination of seeing men, coming back broken and ravaged from the mouth of some monstrous but invisible machine.
