Below is a list of the known survivors of Exercise Tiger, given by LST and then service. We have made this list available as a basic article to assist those who are searching for relatives. In the future, we hope to be able to create a full database of survivors, similar to our Roll of Honour, giving more detailed information. If you have further details relating to a person listed here and are prepared to share this, please contact us.

Unfortunately, many survivors remained 'unidentified' due to the nature of the exercise and the fact that some people chose not to discuss their participation in this operation, even until they died.

A (W) after a person's name means that they were wounded during the exercise.
