In response to the raid, an extra 13,000 mines were laid in Sark. However, this proved to be disastrous for a follow-up raid in 1943, Operation Hardtack, which resulted in two commandos being killed and others wounded.There were nine planned Hardtack raids by the Allies over a four-day period in the Channel Islands.

Sgt Dignac was also wounded by an exploding mine and died shortly after.

The commandos attempted a retreat, escaping through the darkness, with mines detonating around them.A Wessex Water spokesperson said: “Naturally occurring groundwater can enter sewers, often from private pipes and in dry weather, which can cause overflows to operate for days or even months.

“We agree overflows are outdated so we’re investing £3 million a month to help reduce how often they automatically operate.”A spokesperson for Southern Water said: “In areas with high levels of residual groundwater, spills can happen outside of periods of rainfall. Without these releases – made up almost entirely of groundwater – homes and communities would be flooded.

“Combatting these groundwater spills is a key part of our £1.5 billion Clean Rivers and Seas Plan, which is designed to drastically reduce all storm overflows across our region by 2030.”Water and sewerage companies are responsible for outlets known as combined sewer overflows (CSOs), which release sewage from treatment works or the sewage network into the UK's waterways.
