On this day, 80 years ago, Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy, France. Among the thousands of Allied troops were a handful of U.S. Marines who played a noteworthy but little-known role. As Allied forces landed on the French coastline during Operation Overlord, Marines aboard the USS Arkansas (BB-33), USS Texas (BB-35), USS Nevada (BB-36), USS Augusta (CA-31), USS Tuscaloosa (CA-37), and USS Quincy (CA-71) kept a watchful eye on the skies as they manned 40mm and 20mm gun batteries on their ships. Marine detachments were also high above in the ship's mainmasts keeping a watchful eye out for sea mines in the water and firing on them if their ships strayed too close. On the afternoon of June 6th, Marines aboard the USS Texas took into custody German soldiers who had surrendered to U.S. Army Rangers at Omaha Beach. These same Marines were given standby orders to reinforce the Rangers, but were called off at the last-minute as they were about to board the landing craft to head to the beach. Elsewhere on D-Day, four Marines landed at Juno Beach with the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division: Col. Robert Bare went ashore as a staff officer assigned to the Chief of Staff, Supreme Allied Commander, Capt. Herbert L. Merillat (Public Affairs Officer), Tech. Sgt. Richard T. Wright (Combat Correspondent), and SSgt. James R. Kilpatrick (Combat Photographer) were attached to 48 Commando Royal Marines as they landed with the Canadians at Juno. Col. Robert Jeschke landed with General Omar Bradley’s headquarters staff as a Joint operations and planning officer. 1stLt Weldon James also went ashore on Omaha later in the day to assist by providing targeting data for the USS Texas 14-inch batteries. In all, approximately 800 Marines were at D-Day. U.S. Marine Corps photos by Sgt. William R. Gibbons (1941-1943) #MarineCorps
