   At the Saltby Air Base in the Nottingham / Leicester area of England, where the men of the 2nd Battalion of the 508th were waiting to make their first combat jump, each trooper was given some so-called invasion money to use in event of an emergency during the initial phase of the operation.
   Above are images of a ten Franc note given to Eugene (Andy) Bartlett of Headquarters Company, which he circulated amongst his buddies to get their names and addresses recorded for posterity.
