Hi Tony.
I've just seen your reply to David Lea about LCH 275. My father, Derrick Joseph Westwood served on the ship from 1943-1946, taking part in the D-Day Landings on 6 June 1943 at Gold Beach (Sector King Red) and delivering the ship back to the USA in 1946 (stopping at Bermuda). He subsequently delivered a second landing craft, LCI 505, to the USA, also in 1946, before being demobbed. Sometime ago, I sent some photos and information to David and his cousin, June. I'd be happy to forward the same to you, if you wish - you may find photos of your father amongst them?
Kind regards,
Brent Westwood MNI
