A smaller attack was made on Cherbourg. The operations were carried out in daylight and extremely heavy and accurate anti-aircraft fire and fighter opposition were encountered by all aircraft when approaching the targets, which at Brest was protected by a balloon barrage. The air crews engaged succeeded, nevertheless, in securing direct hits on their objectives and’ in inflicting very severe damage in the target area. During the combats with enemy fighters 21 hostile aircraft were destroyed and others were severely damaged. The precise timing of attack by the various formations of aircraft and their correct approach to and accurate bombing of the objectives in the face of such powerful opposition; demanded great skill and high courage. The great success of these operations was largely due to the bravery, determination and resource displayed by the following officers and airmen, who. participated in various capacities as leaders and members of the aircraft crews:- Acting Flight Lieutenant Kenneth Montague BASTIN (75168), Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No. 76 Squadron.

Lieutenant-Commander Colin Henry Campbell, D.S.C., Royal Navy , Recommendation – ‘On the night of 12th-13th October, Wolsey’s convoy FN31 was attacked by E Boats north-east of Hammond Knoll. Wolsey immediately sighted three E.Boats and attacked them inflicting severe damage and driving them off. In the course of the engagement one E-Boat was probably sunk by Wolsey’s gunfire and a second damaged. On the night of 19th and 20th November Wolsey’s convoy FS50 was attacked by E-boats east of Winterton Ridge. Wolsey immediately at tacked three E-Boats sighted and drove them off: in the course of the engagement one E-Boat was seen to be heavily hit by 4′ H.E. and probably blew up.’ Remarks of Commander in Chief – ‘The repelling of E-boat attacks depends mainly on the Commanding Officer who has to make up his mind in a matter of seconds. He has to take into account many factors, including steering a safe course for interception in these narrow waters and getting his guns to bear which call for excellent judgement. Results, which are the acid test, showed Lieutenant Commander C.H. Campbell’s judgement to be sound on these occasions and I consider him deserving of a Decoration.’ In both these engagements Lieut. Comdr. Campbell showed skill and determination and manoeuvred his ship to the best advantage in his endeavour to destroy the enemy.ention in Despatches, London Gazette 27th January 1942 – For good services and devotion to duty.
