Dawn on Omaha Beach: We Were There

The book, ” Dawn on Omaha Beach: We Were There” is the only memoir ever written by a Bedford Boy who was on Omaha Beach.  Before his death in 2009, Elisha Ray Nance, the last surviving officer of the “Bedford Boys” – Co. A, 116th Regiment, 29th Division – penned an account of his experiences before and after WWII.  He intended to publish his book, but never did so.  Now his children have published his memoir.  The book includes important and never-before-published biographical sketches of some of his brother-in-arms.
