Default Re: Visiting Dieppe - what's to see?

Thank you Wessex for bumping the thread. I'll refer back to it when I eventually get to go myself.

As I mentioned on the thread Horror after Dieppe, my father could have been one of those buried in that graveyard. His battery the 16th of the 3LAA was decimated on those beaches...it was only an injury in March 42 that hospitalized him for months with major plastic surgery that he was not with them to be killed at Dieppe or an abused POW who might not have survived through 45. When I finally get to the battlefields, memorials, and graveyards I'm going to be an emotional wreck if seeing these make my eyes water!
