Gold Beach - King Red Sector D-Day 6th June 1944: This is my family story.

Conscripted into the army in 1943, my Grandfather would be part of the second wave of troops ashore on Gold beach on the morning of 6th June 1944 - D-Day.

Landing at H+45 with B Company, 2nd Hertfordshire Regiment - the infantry component of Number 9 Beach Group on King Red Sector of Gold Beach, he would keep a diary all the way through to the end of July 1944 when the 2nd Herts were disbanded to provide reinforcements to the British 2nd Army in Normandy.

This video is of his account from D-Day and D+1 and his personal fight against a prepared German emplacement on the high ground overlooking Ver Sur Mer at Gold Beach.
