Regional departure by coach, then to our hotel in northern France, where we stay for three nights.

On the anniversary day, 19th August, we attend the official commemoration event at Puys Beach to remember the Royal Canadian Regiment who were almost wiped out here in the landings. After this we will attend the inauguration of a new memorial to the Calgary Tanks and following lunch in Dieppe, we will attend the ceremony in the Dieppe War Cemetery. In the afternoon we will also attend the Canadian Government event in ‘Place du Canada’ before having free-time in Dieppe itself.

Today we will look at the role of Commando and Rangers in the areas outside the main landings. These elite troops were given the objective of destroying specific targets, including bunkers. We visit some of these, see their memorials and look at the ground where they were fighting.
