Here I was‚ the roar of the waves so loud and powerful that it could block out one’s thoughts. Faces all around me‚ a sternness visible like none other seen before. The waves crashed over the top of our landing craft‚ by now the cloth of every man was soaked through‚ but there was a bigger problem… The gunfire started‚ the cracking of gunfire that has become so normal in these times‚ the ambience that man had become used to.
