The Spean Bridge memorial was busy today many tourists. I waited till they had taken their pictures and then went forward to the memorial with the Roll of Honour for those of No4 Commando killed in action in Dieppe. I have put the Roll of Honour, an explantion on No4's action and the poem The Fighting Fourth in the memorial garden. I felt close to those in Dieppe when I remembered those heros from No4 and all the other Commandos. We will remember them. Bill Harvey

We Will Remember them !!

I think in Ste-Marguerite ( Dieppe ), they could do an appeal of the names on the plaque at the 4 cdo square.

To hear the names, for never forget them.

Thanks Bill

We will be visiting Spean Bridge at the week-end and look forward to seeing your tribute.

We will say a few words.

We will remember them.
