I have information regarding LCH275 in respect of one of the original crew members who served until it was decommissioned.  His name is Ken Haines - and he has named other original crew members.  He remained in contact with Taff Griffiths and his wife Gloria.
Ken Haines was the best man at their wedding. Often mentioned when I was young

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
