Dieppe Visit

Of Dieppe...being a Monarchist, one doesn't criticize one's "family", does one? However, much as I despise the IRA and all it stands for, I can't begrudge the murder of Mountbatten by the IRA. It was that scion of a dysfunctional family who authored and authorized the Dieppe "raid". He is, therefore, a murderer in his own right, having caused the deaths of so many soldiers on 19 Aug 42.

I've been here before elsewhere in the forum and said my piece on Dieppe, however, in my mind along with Jon's concise summary, attached to "murderer" I have arrogant, bombastic and incompetent.
