Dieppe Cemetary
Hi Bruce.Great photos.Reminds me of my stop there on my way to Paris back in July 1973 while touring England & France..The ferry from Newhaven comes into Dieppe just the other side of the jetty shown in photo #2.It goes into the inner harbour just to the right of the buildings to the right side of the photo & docks right next to the train station.My buddy & I had a four hour layover till the next train.We came out of a restaurant & asked a gentleman in french where the Canadian cemetary was.He realized we were Canadian,escorted us to his car & we drove a few miles out of town to the cemetary & escorted us while we viewed the graves.I must admit it was a sobering sight to see how young the boys were.A sobering experience which I must admit brought tears to our eyes.Thanks for the memories.We offered the man a 10 franc note each but he would not accept any recompense.All he said was "Merci Canada" .
