Operation Husky Landing Tables

Does anyone know if there's a transcript of the landing tables for the invasion of Sicily on the net? If not I assume I could get them from the NA??

I know Normandy landing tables are on the net but I have never found them for Husky

Cheers
Paul

 

Belly - ' It's to be hoped that there was a landing table otherwise it would have been a right old mess as some ships were coming from the UK - others from Alex - Bizerta - Tripoli - Bone - Algiers - all to two beaches -then the 46th Div as a floating reserve - it was bad enough that the 2nd Bde of Canadians were half a mile out and 300 parachutists were drowned otherwise it all went as planned..
Cheers

 

Hi Belly,
I dont know what landing tables are, but if they are what I think they they may be what I would like to see!! My father landed in Sicily. i would really like to find the details. if you have any luck please let me know.
Cheers

Hi Rob
Basically it’s the table that details what regiment/ equipment was on which ship/LCT. Unfortunately there's no individual names, I'd love to find that info though!! Not sure if it exists?

See D-day landings tables here:

All
Need some information on the ships involved in Husky landings, my fathers unit apparantly landed from a liner either into Landing Craft or
tenders.
This was either 2nd wave or 3rd wave as I could not see the navy bringing a large troopship close in.

 

One LSI (Landing Ship, Infantry) described as a 'great liner' was Reina del Pacifico.
Other LSIs in Husky included:
Duchess of Bedford
Keren
Largs
Monarch of Bermuda
Otranto
Princess Beatrix
Prins Albert
Queen Emma
Royal Scotsman
Royal Ulsterman
Strathnaver
Ulster Monarch
Winchester Castle

Info from the index of Operation Husky by SWC Pack.

 

See Northumberland Hussars Embarkation List:

Had a trawl through the Husky hits on the Kew database and the closest description to match seems to be:-

WO107/132 - Embarkation Tables: Personnel & Equipment

 

Bump...

Has anyone got the 'Husky' landing tables or know where they can be found?

I am particularly interested in the tables for 151st Infantry Brigade - 6th, 8th & 9th Bn's Durham Light Infantry - who landed in the Gulf of Notto, at or in the vicinty of Avola, on 10 July 1943.

This information is sought for another forum member who's grandfather was involved in the landings.

Any assistance welcomed!

Best,

Steve.

 

I cannot believe that there is no one out there that can can assist with the request at Message #9. Indeed, we have a 'Husky' Social Group:

HUSKY OPERATION SICILY 1943 - This group is made for talk and share info about Sicily operation 1943, Husky Operation and Ladbroke.

Come on forum members, help me assist another forum member...

Many thanks,

Steve.

 

Seconded - thanks for all your efforts Steve!

 

Steve,

I copied a 68 page report on 50 Divs operations in July/Aug in the Sicilian Campaign recently, together with other files relating to the Div.

I will have a quick scan for anything that may be of help - but to transcribe will be a long job.

Will get back soon.

Mel

 

Hello Mel,

If you find anything relevant, drop me a VM or PM - don't transcribe; we could possibly sort out another way of getting the information. Indeed, I now have a client in Darlington!

Best,

Steve.

 

Hi, All these might be useful

 

Colin Hotham is my expert on Sicily - he might know about the landing tables..
Cheers

 

Dear All

Sorry to raise this issue again but has anyone any further information on the husky landings. I believe my father sailed on convoy MWF 36 from Port Said - embarked 30\6 and sailed 5\7 to join the main force at Malta before landing on 10/7.

With the 70th anniversary approaching it would be great to have more information on these landings if available.

Cheers Brian

ps would this be better place in the Italy forum?

Is the attached what you are looking for? Had two goes and not succeeded, it's my table listing the merchant ships involved in the North African landings, I have tables for the other WW2 landings if required.
