June 25th - July 2nd 1944

My grandfather and his battalion remain in England waiting to cross the channel.   "Have finally found a place to get Coca-Cola by the glass." "Absolutely nothing happens, you can’t even get a good rumor started." "Let’s hope the combined English & American force go thru France fast and get this war over." "It has rained now for seven straight days.  And it just keeps on getting colder all the time."
