The Royal Pioneer Corps were the unsung heroes – the glue that keeps the rest together. 🙂

Beach groups 7 and 8 landed on Mike and Nan sectors. They included Royal Marine Commandos, infantry, engineers, pioneers, medics and ordnance. Men of my grandfather’s company of pioneers landed with the second wave and cleared mines and other obstacles from the beach.
