I am sure many of you remember my postings earlier last year of my uncle Pat's, Patillo Ainsworth Finlayson, experiences aboard the Landing Tank Ship (LST-312). I found an interesting article at the official U.S. Army web site about LSTs during WWII and it mentions the 312. Go check it out.

You have a very good blog!
Thank you Bobby! It's nice to know that you're out there following it. I often wonder if I am writing to an audience of two. It's nice to know that I am now writing to an audience of three. :^)
I keep thinking that there will nothing else to write about - but something always comes up.
Hi,
If you are interested i have a number of photo's of the LST-312. My grandfather commissioned and sailed the ship until it was hit by the buzz bomb. The information i have is that several of the officers and Petty Officers were killed. I'll have to go to my books but I think I have the official reports from that incident.
