My uncle Richard Robert Francis LANGMAID was awarded the Military Medal and Croix de Guerre (with palm leaf) for carrying out two sorties behind enemy lines with a French Lieutenant Chevalier as a W/T operator. He was a Cpl in the Royal Signals and a Phatom, wearing the P insignia on his sleeve. The two of them spent a total of 70 days in enemy territory sending and receiving over 50 accurate messages, showing complete disregard for their personal safety and a constant devotion to duty. On the citation it states:
In view of the secret nature of this NCO’s tas, details should not be published
Would anyone be able to rely me what these may have been, and if anything is known about Lieutenant Chevalier. There sorties would have been between 26 April - 17 July 1942.
Any assistance or information would be most appreciated.
