1944. If I'm correct this was the first baptism of fire for the LSM's. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thank You, Tony Torre RM1C

I served aboard four LSM's. The Australian Army purchased them from the USN(Japan) in 1959. I cannot remember the original numbers but one - AV1354 "BRUDENELL WHITE" was LSM 477. Weoperated them for 11 years, mainly in the SW Pacific but we also had one o
station in Vietnam from 1966 to 1971. I served on all of them. It's really great to see a page on LSM's. I have some photography which I can send if you like.
