L. C. Bradshaw - Royal Marines

OPERATION JUBILEE (DIEPPE AREA 19 August 1942)
Whilst approaching the beach his boat engaged by heavy Machine Gun and rifle fire, the CO ordered the buildings on the beach from where the fire was coming to be engaged by LMG.
A gun opened up by Marine Bradshaw, who also ordered the HQ LMG into action. Both guns were kept continuously in action until such time as the targets were obscured by smoke. During this time the MLC was repeatedly hit by MG fire and very accurate rifle fire from the beach. Owing to the position of this MLC the men had to stand up to engage the targets. Bradshaw carried out his duties very courageously whilst under heavy fire and without thought to his own personal safety.
Recommended for Military Medal by Capt Manners, RM.
