Norwegian soldiers at Dieppe?

[Mark W. Tonner]

Hi Stellan;

In regards to Norwegian soldiers at Dieppe, there were fifteen members of the 'French' Troop (No. 10 (Inter-Allied) Commando) spread across the three Commandos which took part in the raid, these being No. 3 Commando, No. 4 Commando and the Royal Marine "A" Commando (which after Dieppe was redesignated No. 40 Royal Marine Commando). There is no reference to anyone from the 'Norwegian' Troop, (No. 10 (Inter-Allied) Commando) being involved in the raid. Also, the only Military Medal awarded to a member of a Commando named 'Mann' at Dieppe, was to Lance-Corporal 'Dickie' Mann, a sniper of "C" Troop, No. 4 Commando.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
