Dileas p. 574 – The Hitler Line

Cpl. Leslie Raoul Boulaine, an acting serjeant of Baker, was one of the most gallant of all. In the attack on the houses, he had taken command of No. 10 platoon when its officer was knocked out. When the platoon was pinned down, Cpl. Boulaine just took charge of his area. He completely disregarded his own safety in the face of furious fire, reorganized his men in a better position, improvised stretchers and carrying parties for casualties, and then personally supervised removal of them all to safety. He was completely exposing himself.
Still under heavy mortar and machine-gun fire, the Corporal regrouped No.10 platoon with the men of another platoon, whose leaders were casualties or missing, and moved his new force forward in another determined little attack. He killed 3 Germans with his Bren-gun in an impetuous rush in front of his men, and personally quelled much of the fire trying to stop them.
His effort to hold the men together as an efficient fighting force was still in progress when Major Clarke and Able Company came up from support and joined Baker. (Cpl. Boulaine was awarded the Military Medal.)

Later, on 16-Sep44 during the first day of Operation KESTREL he was wounded and evacuated.  He returned and was again wounded on 20-Dec-44 during the battles of the LAMONE CROSSING
