'Part of the LCT convoy crossing the Channel', 1944

Photograph by Major Wilfred Herbert James Sale, MC, 3rd County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters), World War Two, North West Europe (1944-1945), 1944.

This photograph was taken on board one of the Landing Craft Tank (LCT) which transported men and vehicles from the 3rd County of London Yeomanry before landing in Normandy on 7 June 1944, as part of the liberation of Europe. The bottoms of these ships were very flat, making their sea keeping very poor.

From a photograph album containing 210 photographs compiled by Major W H J Sale, MC, 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters), 1944.
