The title of the most famous photograph taken of the Normandy invasion that turned the tide of the Second World War was lifted from Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem, "The Charge of the Light Brigade" a 1854 narrative poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson about the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War.

"Into the Jaws of Death" is a famous photograph taken by Robert F. Sargent, a U.S. Coast Guard photographer's mate, on June 6, 1944 during Operation Overlord, the Normandy landings of World War II. The image depicts soldiers from the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division disembarking from a landing craft at Omaha Beach into the waist-deep water towards the "Easy Red" sector of Omaha Beach. Sargent snapped this image moments after the landing craft he inhabited disgorged its human cargo into the bloody waters of Omaha Beach, the deadliest of the D-Day landing zones. The US troops on the shore are lying flat under German machine gun resistance. It's one of the most famous and iconic combat photographs ever taken, and period originals are extremely rare.

The photograph overall in very good conditions, as shown. Small damage to the corners (image not affected), one vertical crack low right.
