EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of the largest ever Combined Operations daylight raid on the German-occupied port of Dieppe during World War II. In August 1942, over 6,050 brave infantry troops embarked on this audacious mission, primarily composed of Canadian soldiers alongside British Special Service troops, a detachment of US Rangers, and a small group of Fighting French. Supported by a regiment of tanks and backed by Royal Air Force (RAF) fighters providing aerial protection, these courageous men were put ashore from a naval force. The image showcases armoured vehicles returning to England after their engagement in this great Commando raid. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of military might but also in its representation of unity among nations fighting against tyranny. It serves as a poignant reminder that war knows no borders and requires collective efforts to combat oppression. Preserved through time by Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot immortalizes an important chapter in history when bravery prevailed amidst adversity. As we reflect upon the sacrifices made during World War II, let us honor the heroes who fought valiantly for freedom and peace across land, sea, and air.
