Battery A men sporting Mohawk-style haircuts in May or June 1944. Note the man at bottom center and the man at bottom right are posing with two local pups they've adopted. A Battery-man Lawrence P. Belmont recalls: "This photo was taken just before D-Day. Every one who got their hair cut Mohawk-style, including me, got chewed out. They told us that if we ended up in the water it would be hard to pull you out as they couldn't grab onto your hair to save you from drowning."
