Description

Landing Craft Vehicle personnel, with members of 7 Division aboard, approaching the shore, for a landing during the OBOE 2 Operation. Smoke from burning oilfields is seen in the background. Two rockets (which were pink), fired from the ships, were a signal that the infantry had got across the beach and the main highway parallel to it.
