They had 12 teams of photographers
and it was called the Signal Service Company 3264th. And each
team had two still men, two movie men, one officer and three
vehicles, and that's it... We had nothing but photographers,
and we could be assigned anywhere under General Bradley's
command... So some of our photographers were assigned to the
British and French armies, and we could move around from one
to the other. If we thought the pictures were better over
there, we'd just move over there; we weren't stuck in one
place, like most of the photo companies were. And our photos
would go to whoever was nearest to be processed.
