This detachment from the unit may also explain why LCT 2338 does not appear in our War Diary list of LCTs and LSTs, shown below.

Hi Gord;
In regards to the two 17pdrs in the photo (PA 132653), the one on the left of the photo (with a magnifing glass) clearly shows the AoS marking of the Fort Garry Horse ('52' w/white bar below) and I would assume that the right one is also FGH, both of which are on the top of the ramp of LCT 2338. I've attached the part of PA 132653 showing the two 17pdrs on LCT 2338, with the AoS in question circled in red. If you can find a good clear copy of this photo, and with the use of a glass, you can clearly make out the FGH AoS. Another one of life's little mysteries solved.
Cheers
