Sands of Time: November 2017

Assalaamu Alaykum world. My mother, my sister Alexus, my grandmother and I went to visit Nashville for the weekend of July 18th to July 19th 2015. We stayed at a Days Inn the first night though there was a hard time finding a vacant hotel while on the road and then stayed at Quality Inn for the weekend.

The next two pictures of a scene detailing the Refuge In The Battle For France.

REFUGE IN THE BATTLE FOR FRANCE
An American Aid Station
Once the surprise of the Normany invasion wore off, German resistance to the Allied advance stiffened, and causalties were heavy on both sides.
This model depicts an American aid station set up in a battle-scarred French church. Wounded soldiers are being taken from an ambulance jeep and a U.S. Stuart fight tank.
Communications wire is strung across the road, using the crucifix as a telephone pole.
A Red Cross flag is being laid on the roof to deter attack.

The next two pictures are of The Normandy Campaign, Pushing Inward.

THE NORMANY CAMPAIGN
Pushing Inland
The Allied Expeditionary Force moved rapidly inland after security the Normany beaches, pausing only for resupply, as shown here.
The tank is the M-4, or Sherman, in this case modified for amphibious use. Its main gun was 75mm. The Sherman, although outclassed by several later Allied and German models, was one of the workhorses of the Allied victory.
