01:00:05 US Navy tank landing ship (LST-316?) anchored off Portland Bill any time in the first week of the Allied invasion of France on D Day showing an officer briefing GIs on the invasion plan with the help of a map: a US Army chaplain conducting a religious service for the GIs and the LST’s crew: the upper decks of the cameraman’s LST and the one moored alongside it crammed with military vehicles - mostly jeeps, GMC trucks and Dodge ambulances: two GIs sleeping on the deck besides a stretcher: a US Navy signalman doing maintenance work on his signal lamp in a position above the LST’s bridge.
01:01:54 LSTs anchored off Portland Bill, US Navy LST-315 steaming past the cameraman’s own vessel: two LCVPs manoeuvre alongside the cameraman’s LST being being hoisted onboard: a windlass hauling in the anchor chain for the LST’s portside anchor as the ship prepares to get underway for the voyage to Normandy: GIs on the packed vehicle deck in their vehicles as the LST sets off from its mooring: heading out of the crowded anchorage off Portland Bill past other LSTs (including LST-310), tank landing craft and infantry landing craft belonging to Force O.
01:04:07 Post D-Day at a US Army Air Force landing strip in Normandy (possibly the one made at Colleville-sur-Mer above OMAHA Beach showing GI medics taking battle casualties on stretchers out of the back of a Dodge ambulance and into the cargo door of a USAAF C-47 Skytrain transport aircraft, with several female US Army nurses present: one of the US Army nurses playing with a black Spaniel.
01:05:16 Scenes (the first out-of-focus) at the airfield showing two USAAF C-47 Skytrains and a Spitfire belonging to the Allied naval bombardment spotter detachment based at HMS Daedalus based at Lee-on-Solent: soft and in focus shots of two RN pilots conversing with one British and two US officers and posing for the camera.
01:06:01 Out-of-focus views of the airstrip: a detachment of GIs haul a barrage balloon along the airstrip past the camera: a C-47 Skytrain comes into land on the airstrip (it succeeds on the second attempt) and taxis to dispersal.
01:07:15 Slightly out-of-focus scenes showing US medics and several female US Army nurses posing for the camera next to a C47 Skytrain where they are joined by an RN Daedalus pilot.
01:06:53 Scenes showing the Daedalus pilots. US medics and RAF ground crew (distinguishable as such by their British steel steel helmets) standing next to two Daedalus Spitfire Mk IXs.
