The beaches codenamed Gold and Juno constituted the western section
of the British sector of the landings. This title explores the
D-Day objectives for the troops landing on these two beaches, which
included the capture of the town of Arromanches. They were also
tasked with the capture of Bayeux and securing the coast road
between Bayeux and Caen. The British 50th Division supported by 8th
Armoured Brigade successfully fought their way off Gold, whilst the
Canadians on Juno has a tougher time. It could not however prevent
the linking of Gold, Juno and Sword on 7 June securing the British
beachhead. The breakout could now begin.
