    About the Juno Beach Landing Tables:

    The Juno Beach Landing Tables document started with the work of ww2Talk.com membership, and is detailed information on the Canadian & Allied Forces landing at Juno Beach on D Day, 6th June 1944 and a short time period after the initial landings.

    The Tables outline the "load out" of each landing craft (or group of landing craft) or vessels, including sailing times, support craft, bombardment information, convoy information etc and a brief synopsis of each group on landing. Information was collected from various sources included the Canadian & British Governments Force ‘J’ Beach Landing Tables (Archive Information), and War Diaries of Various unit.

    ww2Talk's work was expanded by B Miller, who added information including full Unit Names, pertinent photo's and documents from various web base sources, including Unit War Diaries, expanded the Units presented to include supporting Air Force and US Coast Guard ships and added detailed maps. Also adding Unit/Ship Commander's who occupied key positions in Army and Navy units, and Vehicle Tactical Marking information, where available. His intention was to assist reader's, that may not have a military background (the geology researcher), understand these details.

    As the Landing Tables were documents produced for the "Planning" of the D-Day Operations by Allied Command Organizations, it must be remembered that the "Actual loading” of landing craft may have differed from the "Planning Landing Tables”. Where it was possible to identify the "actual" vessel loads, this record was modified to reflect those changes.
