A song about the USA army during the Normandy landings in June 1944

lyrics

Their Guns attacked the shoreline
The bombers overhead
They went past the Texas
Full of fear and dread

June nineteen forty four
To Omaha beach
The Fox Green landing zone
Their destiny to reach

Left behind in Cornwall
An obscure footnote in time
That lasted just five minutes
Recorded as a crime

June nineteen forty four
To Omaha beach
The Fox Green landing zone
Their destiny to reach

Another group of soldiers
Sent back to the USA
Had tried to fight for freedom
Like their comrades of D Day
Court-martialed in Devon
Sent back to the USA

Left behind in Cornwall
An obscure footnote in time
That lasted just five minutes
Recorded as a crime

June nineteen forty four
To Omaha beach
The Fox Green landing zone
Their destiny to reach
