THE REMARKABLE D -DAY DISTINGUISHED SERVICE MEDAL GROUP TO STOKER 1ST CLASS LEGGOT, the sole survivor of his LCA off Gold Beach, who was pulled unconscious from the water. Kenneth George Leggott was born in Scunthorpe in 1922. As a Stoker 1st Class Leggot was part of Assault Group G2 and serving on LCA (HR) 1106 on D-Day. The Landing Craft Assault was equipped with Spigot mortars, designed to be fired onto the beach to clear mines and beach obstacles. 1106 had manoeuvred into its firing position but was accidentally rammed by LCT 899 of the 34th Flotilla. Leggot's DSM was announced in the London Gazette 14th November 1944 'For gallantry, skill, determination and undaunted devotion to duty during the landing of Allied Forces on the coast of Normandy.' For a number of years it was believed the four-man crew of 1106 had all perished, but with the discovery of Leggott's DSM and the subsequent discovery of the original recommendation that was disproved. The original recommendation tells a remarkable tale of bravery and a miracle survival. ' When L.C.A (HR 1106 was in a sinking condition, Sto Leggott remained in his engine room although the water had come over the engines, and he kept pumping out water until he was fully submerged. He was picked up from the water, unconscious after the craft had sunk - the only survivor'. Kenneth passed away in 1992. DSM correctly engraved Sto. 1 K. G. Leggott, P/KX. 146954 1939/45 Star, Atlantic Star with France and Germany bar, Africa Star, Italy Star and War Medal Swing mounted Condition - DSM is NVF ( Lacquered, polished and edge bruising) others VF
