This was based off of the A Sqn AAR which you have posted, as well, from all of the other documents, and reading the history. LCT 441 loading is different, this is due to the history b...

Re: Map of Force’J’ LST Anchorage Positions in Southampton Area

Rows D and E seem to be berthing l...

I see by the info you have posted the 8 LCTS for 1H berthed at D Trot. Any idea where that is/ I have found Hambles, Cowes, Area 19, ...

Re: Map of Force’J’ LST Anchorage Positions in Southampton Area

I hope you don't mind my stepping in. I am working with CanadianTanker on this project. The Holy Roller was the Regimental 2ICs (Maj Frank White) tank, it landed at approx 0820. The CO took over the tank for a while on D-Day as his lost a track on exiting the beach at exit M2. Maj White became CO of...
