Other Operations involved in Operation Husky

Operation Barclay	An operation to decieve axis forces into thinking the main assault would occur in Greece.
Operation Chestnut	A drop by 2 SAS (20 men) on the night of 12th July to disrupt axis communications. Radios & much of the equipment was lost in the jump & this operation did not achieve its objective. The force returned to friendly lines.
Operation Corkscrew	The invasion of the island of Pantelleria on 10th June 1943. In the 3 weeks prior to this 4 cruisers & 8 destroyers operating from Malta bombarded the island. A heavy aerial bombardment on the island preceded the British landing Four fleet minesweepers went in first to clear any mines. Their was little resistance & by 11.30 hours some white flags were seen. The Governor of the island surrendered to the allies on June 11th through lack of water of which the island had run out of 3 days previously. Eisenhower & Cunningham watched the operation from the cruiser Aurora at Bone. On the 12th June the island of Lampedusa was attacked by ships of the 15th cruiser Squadron. They shelled the island during the previous night. The island surrendered quickly to a pilot of a recently crashed (through running out of petrol) Swordfish of the Fleet Air Arm. The Royal Marines were sent in to occupy the island & 5,000 prisoners were taken. Linosa was the third island in this operation to be captured. A small force was sent ashore from the fleet destroyer Nubian who reportedly found the Commandant in bed.
Operation Fustian	An operation to capture Primrose bridge over the River Simeto, south of Mt.Etna on the night of 13-14th July. Three British Battalions of 1 Parachute Regiment took part. The bridge was captured intact where they were relieved by 4th Armoured Brigade.
Operation Ladbroke	This Operation was the code name for the British glider assault near Syracuse on the night of the 9th July.
Operation Narcissus	A raid by 40 members of British SAS on a lighthouse & high ground on the south east coast of Sicily on the 10th July. Intelligence suggested this would be occupied but the area was deserted.
