Details on Dieppe 1942 raid
I was wondering if someone had details on the 1942 Dieppe raid that could help me in my research. My great uncle died there (Private Ronald Neveu (B66758) of the Royal Regiment of Canada) and I just found out not long ago that he was burried in the Calais Canadian War Cemetery. My family always thought he was among the "unknowns" at the Dieppe cemetery where most of those who died that day are burried, many relatives went there to pay tribute for his memory. I've made several researches on the web and nothing could explain why he rests about 200 km away from his landing point (blue beach), along with 24 other soldiers who fell that same day.
Plus, anyone know where I could find the R. R. C. war diaries for the years 1939-1942?
Thanks for the help,
Pierre
