A new book - Easy Company, 506th PIR, In Photographs, from Genesis Publications - contains over 400 rare and unseen photographs, many taken by the soldiers of Easy Company themselves.

Bill Guarnere and Babe Heffron first met as members of Easy Company, even though they'd grown up just a few miles from each other in Philadelphia. They became lifelong best friends, and died just a few weeks apart in 2015.

Edward Tipper was a member of the famed Easy Company, part of the 101st Airborne Division, and parachuted into France as part of the June 6, 1944, Allied D-Day invasion.
