Image description

Iles St Marcouf, France. A map of the Second World War.ÃŽles Saint-Marcouf are a group of two small uninhabited islands off the coast of Normandy, France.The islands became the first French territory that seaborne Allied forces took on D-Day. At 04: 30 on 6 June 1944 four US soldiers, armed only with knives, swam ashore from two-man canoes. When they had verified that the islands were unoccupied, 132 troops from 4th and 24th Squadrons of the U.S. 4th Cavalry Group landed on the islands to secure the approaches to Utah Beach. France 1: 25,000 Defences, Bigot. [London]: War Office, 1944. Source/Shelfmark: Maps 14317.(259.) 34-20 SW
