Tanks at Dieppe. Canadian Churchills?
Guys,
I'm moving on some pix of the Dieppe raid. As I was looking at them with a view ti describing I saw that the name on a destroyed churchhill is called Calgary? Where these Canadian Churchill tanks? The photos are German and very interesting? Just wondered out of interest Regards Jon |

Hello Jon, Yes the Calgary Regiment (Tank) were equiped with Churchills at Dieppe. Some very interesting images were taken by the Germans after the raid.

Thanks Bill
The photos clearly show some tanks well off of the beach. I was always led to believe none got off the shores.
Thanks Jon |

Some of the tanks got off the beach and well inland, but afterward returned to the beach to provide cover for the infantry trapped there.
