Yes, the whole book! They are mentioned throughout. Might be worth trying to get a copy, although it is getting harder to find and more expensive.

Cheers Paul, Thanks.
Bloody brill. What a battle !
Any idea of the names of the casualties?

Paul Reed · 31-05-2007, 09:47 PM

Off hand, I don't, and I was wondering where they might be buried as well? Never been down to Brest - the museum you mentioned might make it worthwhile, however.

None here.

Paul,
According to this,

They made the return journey on two LCTs, calling in on the UK.
Maybe the casualties were taken home too.

Cheers, Donnie
