Re: Royal Winnipeg Rifles and D-Day 4
Carman;
Just to give you an idea of what a Landing Ship Infantry (H.M.S. Llangby Castle) looked like, I've attached a photo of the Canadian L.S.I. - H.M.C.S. Prince David(Photo # 1). The smaller boats hanging from the ship are Landing Craft Assault or L.C.A., I've also attached a photo of one beinging lowered from H.M.C.S. Prince Henry's side (Photo # 2) on 6 Jun 44. The L.C.A.'s are what the assaulting companies of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles would have launched their assault on the beaches from. Cheers
