A Day by the Shore
ASL G22

Franceville-Plage, France, 7 June 1944: In the original Overlord landing plan, 45 (Royal Marine) Commando's first 
task after crossing the Orne was to capture a heavily defended gun battery at Merville - if the battery had not already 
been captured by the 9th Parachute Battalion. The paratroops had attacked the battery, but one gun was still firing 
and in the confusion, two troops of 3 Commando were sent to finish the job. 45 Commando was then reassigned to secure 
the coastal town of Franceville-Plage. While advancing across open ground toward their objective, the much-reduced 
force came under intense mortar and sniper fire. Worse, its HQ was ambushed, leaving only three officers unwounded.
Following a short naval bombardment, two troops entered the main street of the town.
