This is pretty much hit and miss, so may not be completely accurate. My aim was to get an idea of units at a regiment/battalion level involved in the Normandy Landings.

I put these together because although Divisions get recognition, as times change units are rotated within these divisions and so the units that participated aren't given the credit they deserve. So here is to giving credit where its due. This is also a work in progress. These are simplified versions of each units crests. They are not completely accurate.

Not all Military Police and Signals companies/platoons are represented here due to the difficulty (if non existent) coat of arms or patch. So maybe represented by their Regiments Corps or the Division i.e Military Police Corps or 4th Infantry Division.
