World War II History- On 2 May 1944 a British staff officer doing the London Daily Telegraph crossword puzzle noticed 17 across: 'One of the U.S.' answer: Utah, the code name of one of the landing beaches.

It was found that in previous months the words Juno, Gold and Sword (all code names for landing beaches) had appeared. On 22 May 1944 came the clue 'Red Indian on the Missouri': Omaha (landing beach). On 27 May the solution to ‘a Big-Wig' was Overlord.
