"During the approach to White Beach in L.C.A. under a continuous an withering fire, Marine Breen took u a position with his Bren gun on the Port side of his craft.

During this time the craft was being continually hit by small arms and mortar fire but Marine Breen continued undaunted until all his ammunition had been expended."
