Your name Robert W. Law, Jr.

Did you by any chance keep a diary of what happened to you that day?
No
Were any of your friends killed or wounded either during the landing or
during the day?
A few of us were isolated all that day and I had no way of
finding out what happened to the others.
Do you remember any conversations you had with them before they became
casualties?
None of the boys were wounded on D-day while with me.

[crossed out]
Were you wounded? I was wounded on June 29th.
at is, do you remember whether you
felt any paid or were you so surprised you felt nothing?
Do you remember what it was like, do you remember where you
felt any pain or were so surprised that you felt nothing?
I was knocked unconscious by a German shell which also set off
a fragmentation grenade and a white phosphorus grenade which I
had with me. It was several minutes before a pal of mine realized
my predicament and carried me to a First Aid Station.
[end crossed out]
Do you remember seeing or hearing anything that seems funny now, even
though it may not have seemed funny at the time?
There were several amusing incidents but I would prefer to
relate them to your representative.

Do you recall any incident, sad or heroic or simply memorable, which struck
you more than anything else?
This would take a lot of space as there were many heroic
incidents.
