I was there on August 20 2009 to see where the fallen of my regiment rested and I would have seen your Great Uncle's grave as I looked at the name on every grave marker there. As I looked at their ages, I wondered what could they have become had they lived? A great doctor perhaps? Now they lie so far from home yet so loved even in death by the French people.
there names live forever is not true , the french remember only because the celebration is prepapre in advance ! news on t.v.,.. Newpapers,.. Canadians Soldiers and tourists who goes there,.. pretty hard to ignore there presence, .. not too much choice to remember when there is a delegation of many Canadian Soldiers and politicians on the ground .
the great big memorial stone which said "their names liveth for evermore", i also saw it at the Arnhem graveyard which i went to today....RIP all the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom.
Hi Cheesie99, it is great to see a video which documents the final resting places of Canadians who fell during the Dieppe raid. This video would be great for the Canada’s Got Treasures collection, which aims to feature Canadian videos of personal or cultural significance. Help celebrate Canadian diversity by joining our YouTube group (/group/TresorTreasure) and submitting your video. It would be made available on our channel and website.
ccedricce, Thank the Canadians, Thank the Americans. I have been to France 3 times. I was stationed in Evreux which I beleive is S/W of Dieppe. I worked in the hospital there. I did enjoy my time in Evreux "trying" to learn and speak french to the local townspeople in the market place. Paris, not so much! I would hear sales people speaking English to people from England, but when I asked a question, suddenly they didn't speak English anymore. I tried to speak french when I could.
I was in France when de Gaulle asked all of US to leave France. I had to help dismantle the hospital in Evreux. A sad time,but as I said above, I did enjoy Evreux. Maybe I should revisit France but only in the rural area's.I still remember the little cemetery near Evreux with the war dead.
Nice video. It's a shame France seems to have forgotten who paid the price for them NOT to have to speak German. I hope someday to visit Dieppe myself as my very early relative came from that city. Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA Jan 14, 2009
who on earth gives you the permission to say that France has forgotten what they did!! Have you forgotten why they came here for, sir? As for speaking German this is one of the stupidest argument i have ever heard!
@paintballTSD Canada was suppose to walk through Rome but an American general told the Canadian's to stop, they fought to get there and they let the Americans get the glory for it. Same in alot of other places it happened to the Canadians but atleast in Belgium they remember the most, they love us Canadians there still.
@sutton123454 With all due respect, might I suggest you look at the number of Americans buried throughout France, Belgium, Sicily, Italy, the UK, islands throughout the Pacific, etc., in comparison to Canadians. It had nothing to do with stealing glory, but rather the fact that the Americans had more troops & equipment in Europe & the Pacific. For example, Canadians did not have huge arnour divisions like the US. No matter, all allies KIA were brothers-in-arms and deserve equal respect.
@hognfrog : My house is 200 metter from this Canadian Cimetry. What you said is so sad, so easy... Most of french know that they can say "thx a lot..etc" to the USA. If i take your way: does American people know howmany Idian they killed to take their country? pfff..ridiculous. I 'am french and i kiss all the young english, canadian, American man who have been killed on my town, on my country. But, i disagree with USA for making war in Irak...

I was here March of 2008 on a class trip to Europe. We went to Juno beach than here.
We went to the American Cemetery too. Right after Omaha beach and Point du Hoc.
