I know this is well off topic but...
Can someone tell me which UK regiments were part of the 51st HD that landed on that beach. The reason is that I took my Dad over to Normandy several years ago and his recollection of where he landed (albeit skewed by decades of time spent and the coastline changing in that time) was was of the Candian beach whereas my history books said he should have been on Sword.
I know some units got dragged down the beach by the tide but I never saw a definitive list of which ones. I always assumed that his was one of the ones dragged down the coast but I could never be sure
Would be nice to know.
