When ever we see footage of the "First" man to step ashore anywhere during WWII, we for get that another man got there first, turned around and got the footage. This man was standing with his back to the enemy and doing a "Non combative" job. This book gives insights to these men's mission and what it meant to the home front, military training, tactics and later historians.
