After threads on the
LCA,
LCVP and
Storm and Assault Boats, I'd like to learn some more about the Landing Craft, Personnel (Large), or LCP(L).
The LCP(L) was the production version of Higgins' Eureka boat. It was built for the US Navy and Marines, but was also supplied (in numbers unknown to me) to the British where it was initially known as the "R-boat" and used for Commando raids.
Can anyone supply us with more information/photos regarding the use of the LCP(L) by the British and/or Canadians?
Thanks!
