Barneville greets the liberators.

Barneville greets the liberators. The Mayor of Barneville advances with outstretched hand to greet Sergeant Max Monserne, Woodhaven, L.I., as American troops enter the town after driving out the Germans. In the background, many of the inhabitants form a welcoming group, their faces bearing testimony to their pleasure. From a window in a building above, the French Tricolor flies again. Barneville, on the west coast of the Cherbourg peninsula, was captured by U.S. troops of the Allied Expeditionary Force during thebattle of Normandy.
