Default 1st Hussars, D-Day

I am trying to find load data (would load data list T/CT#'s), photo's, flotilla numbers, LCT numbers for the LCT's that carried the 6th Canadian Armoured Regiment (1st Hussars) to the beaches.
They were supporting the 7th Canadian Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Cnd. Inf. Div. The information I have come across shows A & B squadrons ( the DDs.) loaded at Bayhouse, RHQ and C Sqd. at Gosport.
A Sqd landed at Mike Red and B Sqd. at Nan Green beaches, C Sqd. at Mike Red.
I have found a reference to LCT 303 carrying 5th Troop, A Sqd.
I would guess that it would have taken 4 LCT's to transport a squadron of Shermans (19 tanks).
Any suggestions on were to look or information that is out there would be greatly appreciated.

Perry
