Found a few sites that have original colour photos from WW2. They look really neat. US army Rangers awaiting Embarkation orders to begin the invasion of Normandy.
Troops in an LCVP landing craft approaching "Omaha" Beach on "D-Day", 6 June 1944.
Note helmet netting; faint "No Smoking" sign on the LCVP's ramp; and M1903 rifles and M1 carbines carried by some of these men.
