Charlie / Dog Green
Dog Green / Dog White
Away from Vierville-sur-Mer, D-1, Exit Dog White
Coy C landed at 07.10 am a thousand yards away from Vierville, D-1, Exit Dog White, their mislanding turn to an advantage. One craft hit a mine and was delayed of 20 minutes, the other five did a great job and landed their men in water 6 feet deep, and most of the equipment was lost. Enemy fire was light, only 5 or 6 casualties, probably due to the smoke screen provided by burning grass.
Coy D was not as fortunate as Coy C, they were Heavy Weapons Company who landed at 07.10 am Dog Green. 3 craft were in bad position, 1 was finally abandon, a second one hit a mine or was shout by artillery, half of the men reach the sand. A third section was debarked 150 yards from the water edge...
