Gold Beach

Beach in Normandy on the right flank of the British sector in the D-Day landings, centred on the village of Arromanche.

The British 50th (Northumberland) Division made the first landing and by the end of the day some 25,000 men had been put ashore with their tanks and vehicles, contact had been made with the Canadians on the left flank, and troops had advanced 14.5 km/9 mi to the west toward US troops on Omaha beach.
