My dad served with the Royal Navy in WWII. He was on landing craft throughout his career serving in North Africa before being part of the RN that put troops ashore at Omaha Beach. He describe his experience to me in 1978 just before his death. When I saw Saving Private Ryan his description was just like the film apart from the lack of RN personnel in the LC's.
