Lt Hemming led the raid on Luc St Mere, code named Operation Chopper, in Sep 1941. Two men were killed on this raid and are buried in a local Catholic church, when Lt Hemmings died in the early 1990's his ahes were, in accordance with his wishes, buried next to the graves of his two lost men, whom he never forgot.
