    I try to identify each serial for Juno landing but I can not find those for serials from 1082 to 1103, 1142 to 1146, 1162 to 1399, 1594 to 1700 ... are there not used ?
    I found all the others ...
    Does somebody have any answer ?
    Thanks.

  2. Most of these LTIN correspond to:
    - LCA loads (e.g. 1082-1103), to be alloted to individual LCA in the LSI by her Flotilla Officer;
    - Ferry Service loads, to be alloted after the first waves to craft as available: LCA or LCT (1142-1146, 1162-1163), LCM (1567-1624);
    - numbers not used.
    Some were listed as LCA loads "Ferry Service from LSI" (1164-1167), LST loads (1168-1179) or 2nd Tide LCA loads "to be included when the capacity of L.S.I's is known" (1180-1212) in the 19 Mar 44 version of the 7 Cdn Inf Bde Gp Landing Table, but were dropped in later versions. I wonder whether these numbers were discarded altogether or used for other, later loads.

    The various Brigade Groups in the Assault Phase were alloted LTIN blocks as follows:

    7 Canadian Infantry Brigade Group — LTIN 1000-1399
    8 Canadian Infantry Brigade Group — LTIN 1400-1699
    9 Canadian Infantry Brigade Group — LTIN 1700-1999

    but not every number was used.

    Thank you again Michel !
    Is there an excel file for Juno as you did for Sword beach ?
