If you read this C, I direct your attention to my comments of [[Operation Champion.
Paul
Thank you, your comments on Champion which weren’t seen as this site appears to have had some problems?
Anyway, I would say there is no question of ‘wrong’ or ‘right’, Operation Champion remains a question for us we can’t answer. At some stage when a member is next at the PRO we’ll try and examine a file on it.
We mentioned previously the SOG conducting amphibious operations all along the Arakan. We believe they alone conducted some 170 operations there, but please don’t ask us to name them, assuming they all had recorded operational names?
In respect of Operation Clawhammer for example, we cannot be specific at the moment. We believe it could have been similar to Biting as there were Knickebein and X-Gerat devises there? There again, any such raid may have been the province of the paratroops, SOE, SIS or perhaps the Navy, in which case there is unlikely to be an reference to the Commandos. Until we can find out, this too remains open.

Dear C- OK, Operation Champion is gone. Now let's look into CLAWHAMMER!
In the list of operations section at the end, suggest removing the raids conducted by the SAS, and the non SAS raids in the duplicate section on the SAS page. Or do people feel there is any merit in this duplication? CVA]
