Hi,
My Father Gordon McKennie was the Signalman on LCI(S) 505
his Commanding Offier was Lt Chris Berg. They were in Flotilla 200 and part of the first wave to land Commandos on Sword Beach Queen Red.
The LCI (S) 503 was part of the same Flotilla.
Is it possible to get a copy of this photo there is a very good chance it was taken from 505 and if there are any other photos of the LCI(S) available could you please let me know.
Thank you, Cheers Robert McKennie.
I'm interested in a picture on your web site (How to cite this page: 'On the landing craft on D-Day', URL: http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/photo/on-the-landing-craft-d-day, (Ministry for Culture and Heritage), updated 23-May-2007). It appears to show Landing Craft Infantry (Small) with a ship no. 503 visible at the back of the boat. If so, this might have been part of 201 Flotilla, of which my father-in-law was a coxswain of one of the craft. Can you give me any more details on precisely where this photograph was taken (e.g. ship no.) and by whom? Many thanks.
