Had a great weekend! Everyone made me feel very welcome.

Thanks to Stephane who made everything possible for me. Sorry Im a bit late with the thanks- my daughter got married at the weekend so been busy.

Hoping to go next year now. Trying to persuade my mum (Richard Hardings neice) to go with us. Im sure she will find it just if not more emotional as I did.

Back in August 2012, a TV documentary called "Dieppe uncovered" was shown - see earlier in this thread. I was curious to know if the book "Dieppe Decoded" by David O'Keefe which details more of the research was out. In the documentary, O'Keefe suggests that the reason for the raid was for Commandos to steal intelligence materials from within Dieppe harbour.

According to the publisher's website the book will be published October this year in Canada. Consult your favourite book shop/website.
