D-Day Landing Craft serial numbers

In numerous War Diaries I've found mention of Landing Craft serial numbers assigned to units for Exercise Fabius III in early May, 1944.

Would these same Landing Craft serial numbers have carried over to Operation Neptune a month later???

I believe they would have, but just want to get some second opinions.

Thanks,

Hi,

When it comes to the Canadian 3rd Infantry Division taking part in Exercise Fabius -- if you know the LCIS and LCIL numbers from this Exercise you may compare them to the numbers published in the newest Mark Zuehlke's book "Juno Beach: Canada's D-Day Victory, June 6, 1944" (Douglas & McIntyre, Vancouver 2005, ISBN 1-55365-050-6). The author published all Canadian LCA, LCIS, LCIL, LCT, LSIH, LSIM, LSIL and LST numbers.

Best regards

C.
