Oops, I see you found that. It's copied verbatim from Martin Middlebrook's "Bomber Command War Diaries" (which used to be online a few years back)
Looks like this target was an all 6 Group operation.

Ludford, you were correct. 415 Squadron took part in the Mission to bomb Ile de Cezembre on the 31st Aug 1944
