Operation Dryad
Operation Dryad was a raid on the Casquets lighthouse in the Channel Islands by British Commandos during World War II. The Commandos captured the lighthouse and its occupants and departed leaving no trace that anyone had ever been there.
== Background ==
The Casquets Lighthouse was built in 1724, and is located west of the island of Alderney in the Channel islands. It is located amongst some of the fastest ocean currents in the English Channel. The Lighthouse consists of a tower and two shorter towers on a barren rock. After the German occupation of the Channel islands in 1940, they set up a naval radio station in the lighthouse. Its isolated location made it a perfect objective for a commando raid. The commandos selected to carry out the raid belonged to No. 62 Commando also known as the Small Scale Raiding Force (SSRF).
The raiding party consisted of 12 men from the SSRF, the commanding officer Major Gus March-Phillips, his second in command Captain Geoffrey Appleyard, some of the others involved were Captain Graham Hayes, Sergeant Winter, Private Anders Lassen and Dutch Lieutenant Henk Brinkgreve.
