Morning all......I have been reading the posts here with great interest but nowhere have I spotted a correction concerning the Llandovery Castle.......recorded here as carrying the LCA of the Royal Marine manned 557 Assault Flotilla.
The hospital ships Llandovery Castle and El Nil were on the Clyde when the D-Day assault went in......they were ordered south on June 19th to be on stand-by if required.
The Llangibby Castle carried 557 LCA.....six Royal Marines of which being lost on the day......hope this helps..!!!
