    Hi, my name is Steve. I'm researching into my fathers army history. Clarence Hinchliffe LITTLEWOOD was with Company 4, 966 IWT Operating Company, RE. Sailed on the second tide on D-Day and landed at Juno beach. I think they were with the 267th company according to other records. Nine men of the 966 IWT were killed on the 7th June 1944. Does anyone out there have any more information? Thankyou.
