Matt Minshall will be undertaking a walk for charity to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the raid on the Saint Nazaire docks.  Operation Chariot was an attack on the docks at St Nazaire in German-occupied France.  It was a feat of cunning and daring that helped to shape the war at sea. It is now known as “The Greatest Raid of All”.

Following the postponement of the walk last year for the 79th Anniversary due to an enduring knee injury he is now determined to complete it in 2022 for the 80th.  He has extended the walk to 40 kilometres in four stages as shown on the map.

Matt spent 25 years in the British Army during which time he served in Germany, Belize, Zimbabwe, Oman, Iraq/Kuwait, Northern Ireland and Sierra Leone.  He is still active as a consultant and writer, and lives in France. 

Matt is an Ambassador and fund raiser for PTSD Resolution.  The aim as ever is to raise money for former servicemen and women in need and is seeking donations to assist via a Just Giving Website which may be seen here:
