THE RANGERS: Survivors Of Toughest, Most Bitterly Lacerated U. S. Army Infantry Force Are Home For Well Earned Rest. Picture shows Ranger's terrible losses. In front stand 97 Rangers now resting at Camp Butner, North Carolina. Men behind represent original strength of 1,500 men. On D-Day, losses among the original Rangers were appalling. Of about 1,500 men who started in the three battalions, there are only 199 alive and returned home. Of the 199 survivors, 64 wear the Purple Heart for injuries they suffered overseas. In short, less than one-tenth of the original force came through intact. Pictured are Colonel William O. Darby, Lt. Colonel Roy A. Murray Jr., Capt. Charles Shunstrom, 2nd Lt. Gino Mercuriali, Sgt. John Ingram, Sgt. Thomas Williams, Sgt. Anthony Rada, Lt. James Altieri, Pfc. Carlo Contrera, Sgt. David Campbell, Lt. Peer A. Buck, Sgt. Joseph P. Lucas, Sgt. George H. Creed, M/Sgt. Dean Hooker, Lt. Randall Harris, Sgt. Lester B. Cook, and Capt. J.N. Fineberg. ..... 1944 LIFE Magazine Article, A5001A. 19440731
