Lieutenant Isaac Goldstein, S.A.U.D.F. attached to 'A' Troop, was awarded the Military Cross for gallant and distinguished service while operating with the Army in Normandy [1].

During the attack on Port En Bessin on 7 June 'A' Troop had to assault through belts of wire and mines up the eastern feature overlooking the port. Lt Goldstein moved forward and blew a gap in the wire with a bangalore. The force of this explosion blew him at least 30 yards backwards down the hill. He quickly pulled himself together and went into the assault with 'A' Troop. He inspired the men by his example and courage of a high order and later, when wounded in the head and arm, refused medical attention until the other wounded had been treated [2].
