Sketch of USS LST-539 This sketch was done by someone the ship picked up in North Africa, apparently from the French
underground. The sketch was given to the ship's baker, in return for some pastry. |

USS LST-539 loading US Army trucks at Hardway, Gosport, Hampshire, England. They are reversing onto the ship so that on
reaching Normandy they will be able to drive straight onto the beach. USS LST-512 is preparing to beach on the ramp alongside
USS LST-539 to take on her cargo of waiting vehicles. Portsmouth harbor is in the background. Photo source unknown. Photos from "D-Day In Photographs by
Portsmouth City Council", The History Press. ISBN 978 7524 7479 3. This photo can be dated based on personnel log entries of Sheldon D Abrams, RM3/c crew member of
