Allied soldiers departed from England for Normandy, and arrived by ship. The British were based mostly in southeast England, where they had taken up positions after Dunkirk. The Americans had to go elsewhere when they arrived in England, and their bases were more in southern and southwest England. There were several ports of embarkation for both the British and American forces. The airborne forces departed from numerous airfields. Follow-on forces also generally came from England.
