Landing Craft Infantry (Large)
Jamax:
Thanks Philonauticus, very much appreciated.
Do you know where I can find out if she made it to any of the Normandy landings? I know she was torpedoed in EBC-72 off North Cornwall.
I know from the routing Barry- Falmouth she was possibly supporting US invasion forces and possibly onto Omaha and or Utah beaches.
Thanks again.
Alex
PhiloNauticus:
LCI (L).99 is not listed as taking part in the D-Day landings [source: The D-Day Ships by John Winser ] but was evidently involved in the follow-up support.
EBC convoys were the supply convoys from Barry, South Wales, to Seine Bay for the landing beaches.

Hi!
I’m really sorry to gatecrash this thread but I’m new to this forum and am trying to start a new thread to track details of my father in laws vessel on which he served in the 1940s? It was LCT 4040. Can anyone help me start this thread and apologies again for the gate crashing!
PhiloNauticus:
LCT.4040 was HMS Bastion – a Mk.8 Tank Landing Craft. Built in 1945 at Alloa and served in the RN until 1961. Took part in the Suez operation in 1956
