Raid on Kupha Nisi 1942 ?

Hello,

I am attempting to track down more information on the raid on Kupha Nisi that B Coy 11th Batt. RM participated in during 1942 before Op Agreement. So far not much pops up here, IWM, or google.

Here's a brief mention

Note that the island name has been very mangled in anglicisation.
It's actually Koufonisi.
Googling "operation lighter" (include quotes) with 1942 brings up a few more mentions.

 

Thank you!

 

Here are two mentions of the raid from two different Royal Marine histories. The histories are:

Ladd, D. The Royal Marines 1919-1980. London: Jane’s, 1980.

Thompson, Julian. The Royal Marines: From Sea Soldiers to a Special Force. London: Pan Books, 2001.
