US infantry of the 1/18th infantry, 1st ID move down the D5 road in the direction of Avranches past a Sherman tank knocked out in earlier fighting, possibly a tank of the 32nd Armoured Regiment, 3rd Armoured Division that clashed with elements of the 116 Panzer Division in the town during the afternoon of the 2nd of August 1944.

In the distance on the road can be seen a GMC truck that is also in the next picture.

Same location in 2007.
