Answer

According to a BBC article I found in Google, the battalion's WW2 service was as follows: It landed in Normandy, on Utah Beach, several days after D-Day and fought across Normandy to St Lo, Chartres, Metz and to the Saar River and finally into Bavaria. I have been unable to trace any subsequent deployment.

The US 733 Field Artillery Battalion earned credit for the following WW2 campaigns:
Northern France
Rhineland
Ardennes-Alsace
Central Europe

Note: the campaigns do not list Normandy. This indicates that this unit did not serve in combat at Normandy. However, many units entered France through the beaches at Normandy.


The 733rd did receive credit for Normandy. It entered France on June 30, 1944 and one of its units was the first American heavy artillery unit to engage the enemy in Normandy.
