So many horseshoes at one time!" thinks the messenger, and dismounts to take a picture of the old Norman smith looking thoughtfully at his scrap heap for something or other. 'But that is only superstition!' he says to himself as he drives on, 'since they haven't helped the old man; his property all around has been bombed out!? 26 exposures with 21 Pictures, Picture 9, Normandy, 12/7/44."
