Hi,
First time posting, and I joined to get the same sort of answers as given in this thread. Who were the 4 OR's from the 8th RECCE, 14th Canadian Hussars who were attached to the South Saskatchewans for the Dieppe raid? My late father-in-law, Donald Edward Smith, told me that he was on the beach at Dieppe, and waited to be taken off. He also mentioned his admiration for Col. Merritt. The names of the 5 officers from the 8th Recce are given, as shown in the thread...but no names for the OR's. Is it possible that they were part of the bodyguard for the inspection of the German radar site inland? Don was a prairie-dog popping marksman from Sceptre, Sask. and may have been assigned for his rifle skills. If someone gets the names of the 4 other ranks, I would appreciate knowing. Thanks |
