A combustion chamber louver assembly includes an aft louver having a forward panel 24 that extends axially from a louver leading edge 26 to a corner 28, and a forward louver joined to the forward panel of the aft louver. A lip 48 defined by a portion of the forward louver that extends axially past the corner to a louver trailing edge 36 includes circumferentially distributed trailing edge slots 60 extending forwardly from the trailing edge a nominal distance equal to about 88% to 95% of the length L of the lip.
