Additionally, 509th Field Company, RE embarked with one (1) Dozer each on LCT nrs. 8, 22, 25, 26 (from 510 FC Coy?) and 27, totaling nine (9) D7 Armoured Dozers. History of the Royal Engineers, Vol IX, 1938–1948 states six (6) disembarked, of which all but one (1) got stuck in the soft mud: Quote:
I have labelled them "A", "B", "C", and "D" which have no other meaning than to discern them on photos. Two dozers "A" and "B" and "C" on the north side of the breach, where all the AFVs got hopelessly stuck: 14670_annotated_Dozer_A-B.jpg 39848_annotated_Dozer_B-C.jpg Dozer "D" on the south side of the breach. It seems to have a name on the top edge of the rear armour. As with other vehicles found in the village after the war, the census numbers seem to have been painted out (possibly because they had been struck off charge). b5500_annotated_Dozer_D.jpg
