Return to Dieppe on 25th anniversary of raid
On August 17 and 18, 1967, Dieppe hosted veterans from Canada Britain and France to mark the raid’s 25th anniversary. Surviving regiments paraded on the Esplanade in heavy rain while crowds cheered despite the downpour. Veterans visited Puys and Dieppe sites, attended cenotaph services, and shared meals with locals who offered hospitality and shown respect for the fallen. The ceremonies ended with fireworks and personal reunions with old friends and French hosts.
