LCI(L) GOLD BEACH

(1/1)

WILLIAM ASHBY:
Greetings

I am researching the Hallamshire battalion (York & Lanc's Regt.)
Seeking information on the landing craft that carried them to Gold Beach.  They embarked on D+3 in 5 LCI(L)'s from Newhaven Hard and disembarked on maybe Gold Jig but not sure.  What flotilla and craft carried them.

While waiting to move from Newhaven, the Commanding Officer and a couple of others spent their free time producing a battalion battle flag from scrap material.  The flag flew from the mast head of the LCI all the way through to Germany at every Bn HQ.

Any help appreciated - than you.
