720th Railway Operating Battalion photo

Emmanuel Delaville from Normandy, France emailed me about this photo if you have any information on this unit or this photo please email !

May you could help me:

I have attached one picture about men of the 720th Railway Operating Battalion who was taken on August 5, 1944 in the railway station of Lison in Normandy.
I have found this legend with the picture but it seems there is some errors ( Soldiers Ranks, number of soldiers ).
May you have in your archives an other legend?

Date: 5 août 1944.
