Advice for diving LCT-967 in France
LCT 967 at this site, is not American lct 967 as she was in the Pacific during June till
August 1944 on the campaine to take Siapan and Guam. HMS LCT 967 could be in that area as she
was mined on June 13th with all crew lost (seven) One crew member, the wireman, Leonard Stocks,
is buried at Bayeau war cemetry, so must have been picked up after the mining or washed ashore
