    Hello,

    The photo isn't dated. As for gun position it could be "F5" as first established by F Troop, 318 Battery, 92nd LAA who left the area June 15th.

    Does an enlargement of the background show evidence of a Pegasus Sign? Because the area enlarged is so small what is actually there is open to interpretation.

    The first sign was erected June 26th by the 286th (Airborne) Field Park Company, but not sure which (east or west side of bridge).
