June 1944

Western Front

In the US 1st Army's VII Corps area, the 79th Division, upon relief in Cherbourg, moves south to the US VIII Corps zone. The 9th Division continues preparations for an attack to clear Cap de la Hague.

In the British 2nd Army area, XXX Corps secures Brettevillette but later loses it to a German counterattack. The VIII Corps expands its Odon bridgehead near Baron and secures another, near Gavrus, while it fights to clear the enemy from its flanks.
