Operation Curlew

Operation Curlew was a British Commando raid against the town of Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer on the Normandy coast of German-occupied northern France on 11/12 January 1942.

Four officers and 11 soldiers of the 15th Battalion of the Welsh Regiment participated in this expedition in two Eureka boats. It was a larger raid compared to smaller sorties in the past.[1]

The objective was to gain some experience and maybe find some intelligence. The team spent an hour ashore.

It was not considered a success from the military point of view, because it did not meet the enemy.
