| Description: | MEET US CORPORAL KOONS, MM Corporal Koons of the U.S. Army poses with his British honour the Military Medal which he won in the Dieppe Raid. He is asked questions about the raid and recalls his experiences. Natural sound as he is asked questions by an army officer about his experiences in the raid. He says he was frightened when they landed, but he soon got over that when he began to see the action take place. He agrees he is looking forward to his next action, saying "I'll be only too glad when I get back there to go right at them". He ends by saying to camera that, as an American Ranger, he is proud to have fought with the English, Canadian and Fighting French Commandos, and that they are a swell bunch of boys. | |
