To us of the 4th LST Flotilla the invasion
of Normandy was just another job, but
with the added attraction of being near
home. We were fairly hardened
campaigners having had a taste of
Sicily, Reggio. Salerno, Anzio, D. days
& follow up's. What surprised us mostly
was the lack of enemy air attack at
Normandy. Having experienced such a
lot of it in the Mediterranean we were
expecting heavy air attacks as we beached,
but thanks to the Allied Air Forces this
did not materialize.
