History of The First Divisional Artillery,67th Forward Regiment and a battery of 81st Anti-Tank Regiment landed from amphibious Dukws with the first wave; the remainder of the Divisional Artillery followed in Landing Ship, Tank (LST). Very good account of artillery operations at Anzio 1944-45, complete with a roll of awards and a good diagram of the beach head.
Extract from an official, published account written in October 1944.The Anzio expedition, as far as the First Division was concerned, was laid on in a hurry there were only three weeks for planning and barely a fortnight for amphibious training, waterproofing and preparation for action. Luckily only a small proportion of the Divisional Artillery was involved in the initial assault, the remainder were to drive ashore from LST. 67 Field Regiment and a battery of 6 pounders of 81 Anti-tank Regiment, however, were to go ashore in amphibious ‘Ducks’ and there was some hectic training in the use of these unfamiliar creatures.
