Is there a list of commandos who took part in this raid as there is for the Dieppe raid?

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.
Regards,
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.
