  1. I have visit Dieppe.
    I could not figured out why anyone would attack that place considering it is protected by well trained troops.
    I can see why it was a slaughter.

  2. I was there last night, a very nice ceremony, very well done. My Dad was captured at Dieppe Fred T Lodge

    Thanks
