This is a very interesting view - that of the British - during D-Day.  The three beaches assigned to the British and Canadians wer also key.  In addition, they helped the US military n Omaha and Utah beaches.  It was not all like "Saving Private Ryan" or "The Longest Day" - although "The Longest Day did appear to give a fairly accurate account of the lead up and actual invasion.  For the non-British reader, there were a lot of acronyms and terms that I did not know, and had to look up.
