The authors' contributions to Collier's while acting as war correspondents. This would be the first of six from Hemingway. From the opening paragraph of the Hemingway, "No one remembers the date of the Battle of Shiloh. But the day we took Fox Green beach was the sixth of June, and the wind was blowing hard out of the northwest. As we moved in toward land in the gray early light, the 36-foot coffin-shaped steel boats took solid green sheets of water that fell on the helmeted heads of the troops packed shoulder to shoulder in the stiff, awkward, uncomfortable, lonely companionship of men going to a battle," and the Gellhorn, "The invasion is still fairly new, but it seems to have been going on for months. Time has stopped and day and night flow together steadily. You meet people in bars who have been over and back -- Army cameramen, officers, journalists, pilots -- and the common greeting is, 'Where have you been?' And the answer is France."
