"The crickets were handed out at lunchtime on June 5, a tiny last-minute addition to a hefty 70-pound pack that included rifles, ammunition, hand grenades and assorted survival gear the 12,000 paratroopers of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions carried into battle on D-Day." IIRC, the crickets were exclusively isued to the 101st. I don't believe they were part of the issue for the 82nd.
