Indeed. An RE Operator was awarded a rare CGM (posthumously) and his colleague the DSC for their attempts to make safe a 1000lb bomb on HMS Antelope. An RAF operator was awarded the QGM for his several BD actions during the campaign; in particular the incident at the Ajax Bay Commando Logistics Hospital. Two colleagues were Mentioned in Dispatches.
