260898 Sea. Reginald Oliver Hiscox Royal Navy HM Landing Craft (Tank) 1092 from:Shepton Mallet Dad, Reginald Hiscox joined the service on his 18th birthday, like many of his era. He completed his basic training on HMS Raleigh and was then sent into Combined Operations Group. He qualified for coxswain and was given his "hook" as part of his training. He was part of a group of men who moved around Britain collecting landing craft from the builders and delivering them to wherever instructed. D-Day, 6 June 1944, saw him in the Mk4 Landing Craft (Tank) 1092. His craft was assigned to Sword Beach and was to put ashore several Churchill tanks and their crews. This was successfully achieved. The craft returned to England and was then employed on resupplying the beach-head in Normandy. It was on one of these re-supply trips that the craft struck a mine. Although the craft was not lost and there were no casualties, it was damaged enough to be not suitable for further use. Dad finished his service time in Egypt, again on landing craft, this time LCI(L) 8. As I write this, he is approaching his 95th birthday.
