Which battle took place first Operation Dragoon or Battle of Guam ?
Operation Dragoon Operation Dragoon (initially Operation Anvil) was the code name for the Allied invasion of Southern France on 15August 1944. The operation was initially planned to be executed in conjunction with Operation Overlord, the Allied landing in the Normandy, but the lack of available resources led to a cancellation of the second landing. By July 1944 the landing was reconsidered, as the clogged-up ports in Normandy did not have the capacity to adequately supply the Allied forces. Concurrently, the French High Command pushed for a revival of the operation that would include large numbers of French troops. As a result, the operation was finally approved in July to be executed in August.
HMS Curzon (K513) HMS "Curzon" (K513) was a "Captain"-class frigate of the British Royal Navy that served during World War II. The ship was laid down as a "Buckley"-class destroyer escort at the Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard at Hingham, Massachusetts on 23 June 1943, with the hull number DE-84, and launched on 18 September 1943. The ship was transferred to the UK under Lend-Lease on 20 November 1943, and named after either Captain Henry Curzon, who commanded "Pallas" at the First Battle of Groix (1795), or Captain Edward Curzon who commanded "Asia" at the Battle of Navarino (1827). There is official uncertainty about which is correct.
