Thank you Mark,
The references to the War Diaries are very useful. A friend of mine has kindly offered to have a look at them for me in the coming weeks.
I have consulted with the Landing Craft Association both here in the UK (Tony Chapman) and the US quite a bit over the last few months and they have been very helpful too. The details about LCT 2428 was added as a result of my investigations into the loss of the Tanks and Bulldozers here in the English Channel. Until that point she had been reported - lost in Normandy 6 June 44 - position unknown. I hope we can find 2428 and perhaps some reports from the Canadian troops on board.
Kind Regards
Alison
