Three soldiers of the 44th Infantry Division pause for a photograph while riding bicycles through a European city street during World War II. Bicycles were a common and practical mode of transportation for American GIs stationed in Britain and liberated France, offering mobility during off-duty hours in towns near their bases or the front lines. This candid snapshot, part of the Norman Baget collection, captures the everyday, human side of the war experience amid the division's service in the European Theater. Project: 218401
