Courseulles sur Mer - Looking West
June 14, 1948
The western end of the Canadian 3rd Infantry Division D-day assault beach east of the breakwater was codenamed "Nan-Green beach", attacked by the Regina Rifles Regiment. Note the concrete blockhouse on the shoulder of the coast road is still present as are several more in the dunes west of the breakwater. West of the river mouth Mike Green and Mike Red Beaches were assaulted by the Royal Winnipeg Rifles. Coordination of tans and infantry landing together overcame the German resistance quickly without heavy losses to the two Canadian regiments.
