Boarding equipment and men onto the LST assault craft. Staging points were located in south England and Wales

Image
Meteorological officer for Operation Overlord. James Stagg. Such a heavy burden and responsibility.

I read an article over the weekend about the role played by an Irish man in D day. He was based on the West coast and even though we were 'neutral' he was asked to give hourly weather reports to the James Stagg in England concerning the weather coming in from the west seeing as he would have known before their meteorologists. On and on it went and even though plans were being drawn up for the invasion he was nonethewiser and continued. Around the fourth or fifth he was asked to repeat the forecast, something that he had never been asked to do before. So he went through the procedure and gave the exact same forecast, it was correct the first time. A day or two later it became apparent why they double checked.

His name was Sweeney, lighthouse man in Blacksod Bay.
