65th anniversary of the battle of Dieppe
Hello All,
Here are some pictures of the parade and the ceremony of remembrance of the 65th anniversary of the battle of Dieppe which took place to Longueuil on south of Montreal. Everything was very well and the beautiful temperature was with us. We were fifteen WWII vehicles and it's a record of all time for this type of demonstrations in Quebec. Our vehicles behaved marvelously without any mechanical problems and the veterans really appreciated to walk in these old always loyal and reliable jeeps.
We also made very beautiful meetings and we discussed a lot with the WWII veterans. The parade, the colourful servicemen, the music, the ceremomie, the cocktail, everything was very well. This evening, in the bulletin of the news of Radio-Canada, we were able to see a broadcast report on the remembrances which took place in Dieppe and we were able to see the parade in which Maurice Robens with other Belgian and French friends of the group of the Companions of the Allies Souvenirs had embarked Canadian veterans on their WWII vehicles.
Cheers from Trois-Rivieres
