LVT-1 #14
LVT 14 sits on Red Beach 1 near the disabled tank Cecilia.
Another view of LVT 14 knocked out on the beach with board "123" clearly visible.
Note the ship in the background of LVT 14. This is the Sadu Maru. The location of LVT 14 in the image should then be Red Beach 2 center. Also LVT 14 likely had more than one trip to the beach. The location in the first picture is up out of the water on the beach near the seawall. The second picture is in the water near paralell to the beach obstacles. My assupmtion is that LVT 14 was damaged and disabled on Red Beach 1 and brought later to this LVT collection point.
LVT 14 is parked after the battle among a number of other LVTs. Note the flag flying on the right. This area looks to be the boat basin.
