Omaha Beach was the landing zone for the US 1st Infantry & US 29th Infantry Divisions on D-Day. British units were not assigned the mission of landing and seizing the beach there. It is always possible that British soldiers, sailors, airmen could have been assigned tasks working with the Americans (liason, fire control, beach masters, UDT, etc.) during the inital stages of the invasion.
Also during the time that troops were brought on-shore after the landing area was secure, days later, it is possible that some British, Canadian, French, or other units first arrived at Omaha Beach.
