Original caption: "Protected from strafing Nazi planes by barrage balloons, a Coast Guard tank landing ship, (left) forward passes as load of mechanized fighting vehicles to the flat top of a "Rhino" in the English Channel during the height of the invasion of the French Coast. The "Rhinos" slogged through the surf to unload their cargos on the beach."
