Captain Michael Burn with most of his troop of No 2 Commando were aboard Motor Launch 192, she was destroyed by fire just south of the Old Mole with heavy loss of life. The other "Micky" to remember in this very brave mission was Sub Lt 'Micky' Wynne DSC - Commanding Officer of MTB 74 - also lost with a very heavy loss of life, himself only being saved by his CMM W. H. Lovegrove CGM. Of the five Victoria Cross's won that day, one was awarded posthumously to A/B William Savage VC. on board MGB 314.
