The night before June 6, 1944, few of William Walton's "paratrooper comrades" tried to sleep. "They were the spear head," and "some of them would not live to see that day’s dawn." Walton, a "qualified parachutist" attached to the 82nd Airborne, was among the 20-odd TIME & LIFE correspondents with General Dwight D. Eisenhower's troops, according to a letter from the publisher that month. "I landed in a pear tree, a rather good shock absorber," Walton wrote in a cable. After some assistance, he dropped to the ground like he was "overripe." After dawn, having moved slowly "through the shadows one by one" with a group of men, their position "was not only untenable, it was tough. The only escape was across three-quarters of a mile of swamp to a railway track." Most of the men got to that track, he wrote. “Snipers were still taking a wham at us now & then. Half our equipment was gone, but my typewriter was waterproof, and I still have it.” He also noted a lunch in an apple orchard days later ("D plus three"), saying: "It would be lovely if you could ignore the shelling, the dirt, the burning fatigue."
