I have just come home from a trip to Cornwall...
I visited Falmouth, and was very impressed by a memorial on the harbour, to commemorate the 'Battle of St Nazaire'...
I must admit, I had never heard of this battle, so I have just read up on it, on Wikipedia....It is so interesting to read, about those brave men..
The Falmouth people are very proud of their Memorial, and it is in superb condition..
Five Victoria Crosses, were given out to men of the raiding party..
