HM LST-427

HM LST-427 (not to be confused with HMS LCT-427 which was sunk in collision with HMS Rodney) was an American tank landing craft seconded to the Royal Navy during World War II and used in the D-Day landings (amongst other theatres).

My father was taken to Normandy on this vessel and we used to have a set of photos from the day – I only have the scans now but here they are. More photos and details can be found on navsource.org

This is the index of photos
