ROLL OF HONOUR:

CITATION:

Mention in Despatches : Second Lieut. LOUSTALOT was attached to the party of No. 3 Commando which landed on BERNEVAL near DIEPPE on August 19th 1942. This party consisted of only three boat loads out of fifteen which had been engaged and dispersed by the enemy before reaching shore. They immediately went into the attack against vastly superior forces. Throughout the action, in which he lost his life, Second Lieut. LOUSTALOT displayed greatest coolness and gallantry under heavy fire and by his example in leadership contributed greatly to the attack which successfully engaged large numbers for a long time and enabled another party, a mile distant, to approach their objective with only minor opposition.
