Summary: Colour rushes shot by Royal Navy cameramen. Various scenes off Normandy beaches, June 1944. RN sailors and merchant seamen pass time aimlessly off tropical coastline, where dredger and auxiliary vessel Barfoam (1936-1946) are moored. Badly focused and underexposed sequence shows Supreme Commander Admiral Mountbatten addressing troops in the Far East, with bush-hat cameramen (British AFPU or Australian) visible, then departing by car at (unidentified) ceremonial occasion.
