The British Beach Groups were a combined force of men stationed on
the Normandy Beaches from the initial landing until the last unit
was disbanded a few weeks after D-Day. They performed many vital
roles during the assault, including: arranging and controlling the
movement of all personnel and vehicles from landing craft to inland
assembly areas; moving stores from ship's holds to dumps in the
beach maintenance areas; developing and organising the beaches and
beach maintenance areas for defence, movement and administration,
including the evacuation of casualties and the recovery vehicles;
providing a beach signal organisation; organising the removal and
repatriation of casualties, prisoners of war and salvaged
equipment; creating dumps to hold the petrol, ammunition, rations
etc. that were being landed; and establishing assembly areas for
arriving personnel and their vehicles. This book explores how this
often-forgotten unit were the first to arrive and the last to leave
one of history's greatest military operations and how their
behind-the-scenes action saved lives and were essential for the
success of the landings.
