Normandy Campaign
June 1944
The distance from Gold Beach to the Normandy town of Lingevres is only 5 or 6 miles. The 50th Division landed on Gold Beach on June 6, 1944 and there were hard-fought battles won by the Army to take Lingevres on June 14. It is a miniscule part of World War II, but it was crucial to the Allied victory.
