Arrival at Brest for the trip home

Imagine the joy in these men's hearts as this train pulled to a stop in Brest. After many hard months, they were about to board a ship and return to their own country. To their families ...

There were some trips by train as they served in France and Germany. Some by truck. Most of the time they marched through rain and mud. One place to the next. There were times no food was to be had. No water. Given no place better, they slept on the ground in the mud. These are the faces of heroes.
