The landings on SWORD were mainly of British forces but it is known as the Allied beach because 'Free' forces such as the French under Commandant Kieffer, landed in the area. The gaps between the beaches were filled by Special Forces such as Commandos and Rangers and at each end of the landings, ie. around UTAH and SWORD, airborne forces were used to stop the Germans attacking the landings from the flanks. The landing scenes in 'Saving Private Ryan' depict the landings of A Company, 1st Battalion, 29th Divison which had been recruited from the small town of Bedford in Virginia, 23 of whom were lost on D Day. They landed on OMAHA just below where the 29th Division Memorial now stands on an old German bunker. In total the casualties on OMAH were the greatest of all of the beaches.
