    Thank you for this post. My father was involved in Dieppe somehow, someway. Never talked about it other than to say he was "in it" answering a question from a letter to him from home. Was a Flying Sergeant with the RAF flying Hurricanes. Where on that day, have no clue. But Dieppe is an important event in our family. Good to see those who gave all so remembered.

    That RCAF tartan that Robert is wearing is a real stunner.

    But I am glad you shared them

    Very poignant pictures.
    My wife had an older relative, born in Toronto, Canada, to Scottish parents who had emigrated to Canada.
    He volunteered in World War II and became a RAF pilot.
    At the age of 21, he was shot down during 1942 while on mine laying operations off the coast Lorient in western France and his body was never recovered from the sea.

    Robert,

    Thank you so much for posting these pictures of the graves of those who paid the ultimate price for freedom. As a Canadian, your gesture is most appreciated.

    Lest we forget.
