45 fortunate to have known a number of Jubilee veterans. They are all gone now but those veterans were always marked as extra special people to me. Somehow, those whose first experience of battle, and for some also their last, was this single day stand out as both tragic and heroic figures. Hopefully we will never know another Dieppe but may we never forget those Canadians and that day. ❇ 1. Mark Zuehlke, Tragedy at Dieppe (Toronto: Douglas and McIntyre, 2012), 3. 2. Ibid., 4.
