On the night of 5 June 1944, eight jumpers from the 307th Airborne Medical Company parachuted into France. At 1855 hrs on 6 June, C-47s towing gliders took off for Normandy, carrying the rest of the medical personnel. The main body landed together in swampy, half-flooded fields and moved north to Blosville, where the majority of the unit assembled at about 2400 hours. There, a small clearing station was set up, and casualties started streaming in. After actions in Normandy and Holland, news came of a German breakthrough. On 17 December, the division moved out. The journey to the Ardennes was far from comfortable, but all were thankful to be going by truck rather than glider.
