Rick,
The Signalmen for the Landing Craft crews and for the Beach Signal Section and the Naval Bombardment troops were trained in H.M.I.S. Talwar and H.M.S. Braganza (a Royal Naval establishment in Bombay).

Sassoon Docks/Barracks was a Landing Craft Base

Scroll down to pages 131 - 134

Needs more research though...
