Diary Entry
3 September 1942 British raid on the Casquets lighthouse
Editorial note: Only the Casquets passage is reproduced; the source paragraph also discusses an unrelated mainland raid.
Enemy activity on the coast was largely confined to two small raids. During the night of 2–3 September, a British force removed the naval lighthouse detachment—one officer and six men—from the unoccupied Casquets and destroyed its radio equipment.
