520    The British Beach Groups were a combined force of men 
       stationed on the Normandy Beaches from the initial landing
       until the last unit was disbanded a few weeks later. They 
       performed many vital roles during the assault, including: 
       arranging and controlling the movement of all personnel 
       and vehicles from landing craft to inland assembly areas; 
       moving stores from ship’s holds to dumps in the beach 
       maintenance areas; developing and organising the beaches 
       and beach maintenance areas for defence, movement and 
       administration, including the evacuation of casualties and
       the recovery vehicles; providing a beach signal 
       organisation; organizing the removal and repatriation of 
       casualties, prisoners of war and salvaged equipment; 
       creating dumps to hold the petrol, ammunition, rations 
       etc. that were being landed; and establishing assembly 
       areas for arriving personnel and their vehicles. This book
       explores how this often-forgotten unit were the first to 
       arrive and the last to leave one of history’s greatest 
       military operations, and how their behind-the-scenes 
       action saved lives and aided the success of the landings.
