"Sgt. 1st Cl. Frank A. Wallock of Battery 3, 322nd Field Artillery attached to 32nd Division, leads his troops entering the town of Sorbey after a day-long march towards Germany. This image captures the historic moment as these American soldiers became the first liberators after four years of German occupation. The excited civilians greeted the troops as they arrived in Longwy, Meurthe et Moselle, France."
