Topic: Vaux sur Aure


  
  Cross-Channel Attack-Chapter 9
The principal 1st Division attack on 7 June was the 18th Infantry's drive southward toward its D-Day objectives: the high ground north of Trévières and the Mandeville-Mosles area south of the Aure River.
The 1st Battalion, meanwhile, bogged down on 8 June at the Aure River crossing at Etreham, where the enemy fought stubbornly to hold one side of the Drôme corridor.
The success of the 3d Battalion in crossing the Aure under heavy German machine gun fire was due at least in part to the intrepidity of Capt. Omery C. Weathers of Company K who led his men through the fire at the cost of his own life.

 VICTORY IN THE WEST Gold beach excerpt
The light was fading, Tracy sur Mer was full of enemy snipers, and after la Rosière had been occupied it was decided to postpone further advance until first light next day.
The 47th Commando making for Port en Bessin had had a sharp fight at la Rosière earlier that evening and it was dark when they reached Point 72, the prominent hill a mile and a half south of Port en Bessin; they dug in there for the night ready to attack in the morning.
The South Wales Borderers, in the van, pushed on to Vaux sur Aure and secured the Aure bridge shortly before midnight.

 Saga Magazine - Rabbit stew   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
It was his friend, Sergeant Melvin Jones from Caerphilly who dragged Islwyn back to the surface and on to the beach where others pumped him out.
He recovered sufficiently to take part in an attack on a radar station, before heading inland to secure the bridge at Vaux sur Aure.
There, bizarrely, he became involved in a vicious night-time firefight with members of his own regiment.
