That's the beachhead at Les Andalouses
Pictured is the beachhead at Les Andalouses in Algeria. (Code Name: Yorker Beach) The 26th Regimental Combat Team came ashore there as part of the Center Task Force during Operation Torch with the final objective being Oran. (See map)
The picture was taken looking southeast towards El Ancor. Bronc Last edited by Broncazonk; 28th April 2017 at 03:45. |
