Was your wife’s Great Grandfather RN or Army? I know the LSTs were crewed by the Army after the war and they were still running seagoing landing craft up until the late 1990s. Not the best sea vessels , the troops who were carried on them were lucky to avoid sea sickness, not the best preparation for battle.
You wouldn’t happen to know the name or number of the LST he skippered?
He was RN. I may have mixed up my landing crafts. He was definitely at D-Day. I’m sure my wife’s uncle will know the details of the vessel.
