The 65th anniversary of the Dieppe raid co-incided, to the day, with the annual Canadian National Exhibition's Warrior's Day Parade, in Toronto.
I was in attendance and, at Fort York Armouries, visited the Sergeants' Mess of the Royal Regiment of Canada (I was a Company Sergeant Major with the Royals in the 'eighties.) I produced a piece of polished gravel (chert) taken from the Dieppe beach, given to me by MLUer Bruce Parker upon his visit there a couple of years ago. One of the Royals' Mess members held the piece of stone and you could almost feel the...what?...feelings, emotions, electricity, sheer power of the effect that this small item could evoke in a person. Moving.
