I am looking for information regarding 814 flotilla LCVP which was commanded by my father around D-day; he was (then) Captain Harry Barnes, but I know nothing more about my father's war-time experiences, although he went on to be a prominent figure in RMVFR (Merseyside) ending up Lieutenant Colonel when he died in 1969. The war experience I have obtained is from the Combined Operations Command web-site

Hi Peter,

Welcome to the CVA Website & Forums - pleased to see your post :D

I don't know if you've been on the Combined Ops Website but there is a photo of 814 Flotilla LCV(P) which includes your father (see link below)
