Allied Infantrymen and military vehicles move inland from Normandy to Carentan, France, and build bridge at Carentan

10 days after D-Day. Allied Forces progressing with invasion of Europe through Normandy during World War II. Infantry troops march and military vehicles move inwards to Carentan, about 3 miles in land from Normandy and Omaha Beach. A native woman talks to soldiers in the town of Carentan. A wounded soldier laying on a US Army jeep in the town square in front of the Carentan Church. Soldiers use girders and continue construction of a bridge at Carentan. (Note: This appears to be "Tucker Bridge" at Carentan. The bridge was so-named after Major John Tucker, commanding the 300th Combat Engineers, was hit by enemy fire and killed during the initial construction of the bridge. The bridge provided important access to Cherbourg, St. Lo, and Caen. It was replaced in 1996 by a stone and concrete structure but it remains the Major John Tucker Bridge.) Two soldiers stand on the bridge and talk to each other. Location: Carentan France. Date: June 16, 1944.
