William "WILD BILL" Longley - Texas killer and all around real bad man. So bad they say, he had to be hanged twice, though some blame it on an inept hangman. Affable, even friendly when sober, his hot temper, fondness for liquor and just plain bad luck didn't serve Longley well. Nevertheless, it is thought he killed as many as 32 men before he met his death at the end of the rope. Famous Outlaws, Republic Of Texas, American Legend, Mountain Man, Secret Life, Serial Killers

D-Day, june 6, 1944: Gen. Barton (center) is at the first command post of the 4th Infantry Division on Utah Beach. Barton is issuing orders for the deployment of the 746th Tank Battalion. Officer on the right is obviously the commander of that tank battalion, as he has either a Major or LT Colonel rank on his helmet, just below an Armored triangle insignia, which is probably that of the 746th. On the left is the Assistant Division Commander of the 4th Division, Brigadier General Teddy Roosevelt. Gi Joe, D Day Normandy, 4th Infantry Division, Comics Artist, Utah
