Norwegian soldiers at Dieppe?

[Stellan Bojerud (RIP)]

Thank you very much!

I am still puzzled but on a higher level. Allan Gustav Bertil Mann was 1941 in Sweden and Norway. He seems to have reached Britain late 1941 or in 1942. He was then a private.

We know fou sure that he got the Légion d´Honneur and one Croix de Guèrre in Narvik 1940.

But he later got Military Medal and a second Croix de Guèrre. The latter award is pointing towards an engagement in France.

Should the British and French give him Military Medal and Croix de Guèrre for service with the Norwegian Army in Norway?

Allan was a Swedish citizen and not Norwegian. He could have been a L/Cpl in 1942 and with No 10 Commando, but we have so far no proof of that.

But assuming L/Cpl Mann of No 4 Commando is Allan, why should he then have the nickname "Dickie"?

Best greetings from a Stockholm getting warmer every day,
