Destruction of a German Battery by No 4 Commando - Dieppe

I found this interesting facsimile document the other day covering No 4 Commando?s learnings from Dieppe:

Now this is spooky - no other word to describe it. I am meeting Jack Bakker tomorrow who is over from Holland and he is bringing me a copy of this document issued to 10IA Commando. In fact I have been in touch with the Information Policy Advisor at the National Archives in preparation so as we can put it on our site. So all is prepared and there it is already for all to see.

Its been a 'spooky' period. Just this week I was contacted by the granddaughter of a Commando whose picture she had seen on our site seeking more information about her grandfather. Only the week before I had been sent some photos by someone else which included a POW photo taken in Germany and guess who was in one of those photos. Yes, it was her Grandfather. They have yet to see that but will soon

The final spooky thing is that, unbeknown to their family, my Father was her Grandfather's best man at his wedding.

Maybe its the time of year.

All will be uploaded to the galleries in due course unless ----------------

Oops sorry! Spooky indeed!!

It will of course be better to have an official version in the gallery rather than a link to an external website.

I've also bought an original printed copy of the ABCA Dieppe Summary on ebay, which I can scan if appropriate. There's not a great deal of reference to Commandos, as it?s more from the Canadian perspective.

I have a document on Dieppe too. Will bring a photocopy it up to the CVA meeting in Fort William. I am just back today from Holland were I met Jack Baaker. It is of the raid.
