A public appeal to save rare WW2 medals from the St Nazaire raid reached its £30,000 target.

Operation Chariot launched from Falmouth harbour in March 1942 to destroy enemy dry dock facilities in occupied France.

Exhibition details and presentation plans will be announced by campaign organisers in the coming months.
