1.5 miles inland from Utah Beach, one of the encasements
of the Saint-Marcouf battery. (aka Crisbecq battery)

The French called it the Saint-Marcouf battery, since it is
located next to the village of Saint-Marcouf.  The Americans
called it the Crisbecq battery, since it is also located next to
the hamlet of Crisbecq.
