99 Infantry Battalion (Separate) (USA) forced to lay off-shore day 3
After donning their impregnated, gas-proof clothing and eating their last good meal for a long time, the men of the 99th left the shores of England on the 17th day of June. The crossing was rough and life was anything but pleasant aboard flat-bottomed LCI's. Due to bad weather they were unable to land as scheduled and were forced to lay off-shore for a few days until it was considered possible to land. Meanwhile the first taste of real war came with the boom of artillery in the near distance and the sight of dog-fights overhead.
