Hi Tony
You best bet would be to contact the Royal NZ Navy Museum who own the original of this image.
Hope this helps

I'm interested in a picture on your web site (How to cite this page: 'On the landing craft on D-Day', URL: http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/photo/on-the-landing-craft-d-day, (Ministry for Culture and Heritage), updated 23-May-2007). It appears to show Landing Craft Infantry (Small) with a ship no. 503 visible at the back of the boat. If so, this might have been part of 201 Flotilla, of which my father-in-law was a coxswain of one of the craft. Can you give me any more details on precisely where this photograph was taken (e.g. ship no.) and by whom? Many thanks.
