The story
U.S. Soldiers construct a landing ramp as part of the Mulberry "A" artificial harbor at "Omaha" Beach. Photo is dated 23 June 1944, but appears to have been taken before the storm of 19-22 June wrecked Mulberry "A".
Note the composition of this ramp, with steel mesh laid over wooden staves.
