The 47 Royal Marine Commando takes Port en Bessin

Port en Bessin was an important D-day objective for 2 reasons. It was in the middle of an 11 mile gap between Gold and Omaha beaches and was to be the site of a terminal bringing in fuel to be pumped into Pluto Minor.
The 47 royal marine commando was given the task.
