Disaster at Dieppe,
France 19th August 1942 by David Pentland Under pressure from Stalin to open a second front
in Europe, Operation Jubilee was designed ostensibly as a reconnaissance
in force on the French coast, to show the feasibility of taking and
holding a major defended port for a day, in this case Dieppe. The plan
devised by Lord Louis Mountbatten failed due to inadequate naval and air
support, carrying out the landing in daylight and general lack of
intelligence of the target. Here new Churchill tanks of the 14th
Canadian Tank Regiment (The Calgary Regiment), with men of the Royal
Hamilton Light Infantry and Fusiliers Mont-Royals, struggle to fight
their way off the beach. Only a handful of men penetrated into the town
itself, and eventually the remaining troops were ordered to withdraw.
Out of 5086 soldiers who landed only 1443 returned.
