Tim Isaac Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 The Friends of the Assault Training Center have been clearing undergrowth from the "dummy" LCT`s in advance of the Devon D Day show here on June 6th, when we hope to re-create some photos taken at the time. Built in late 1943 by the American Troops training here in Devon there are three surviving LCT`s and some LCP`s, they were first uncovered around 15 years ago but have since become overgrown. One has an extension piece at the rear added by 146th Engineers, C Co, 1st Platoon when the longer MkVI boats were introduced. The sides were constructed scaffold tube type uprights with latrine screens or corrugated tin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
