Page "Omaha Beach" Paragraph 40

Further east, the strongpoint defenses were effective.

On the Dog Red / Easy Green boundary, the defenses around the Les Moulins strongpoint took a heavy toll on the remaining 2nd battalion, H / 116 and headquarters elements struggling ashore there.

The survivors joined the remnants of F / 116 behind the shingle, and here the battalion commander was able to organize 50 men for an improvised advance across the shingle.

However, a further advance up the bluffs just east of Les Moulins was too weak to have any effect and was forced back down.

To their left, mainly between the draws on the Easy Green / Easy Red boundary, the 116th RCT support battalion landed without too much loss, although they did become scattered, and were too disorganized to play any immediate part in an assault on the bluffs.
