I have not seen one but you could try the link on this site to The St Nazaire Society. There is a roll of honour for those killed in the raid on their site. There is a comprehensive breakdown of the three groups that the Task Force was split into and the officers names assigned to each group, including each ML, in a magazine called After the Battle issue no 59 which was dedicated to the raid and is still available for about £3-50 +pp from

Mark,

Here is a link for The St Nazaire Society which contains the Roll of Honour and a list of awards & medals etc - I hope it is useful to you.

Janet Bishop sent it to me to post for you.

There is also a nominal roll of personnel taking part in the raid published in the book: The Attack on St Nazaire.

Nick

Hello Mark

To add my pennies worth to the above the book 'St. Nazaire Commando'
By Stuart Chant an officer on the raid contains a list of all military personnel that took part on the raid.

This is a the most complete list in publication.
