Troops returning from the biggest ever Combined Operations daylight raid

Troops returning from the biggest ever Combined Operations daylight raid on the German-occupied port of Dieppe, northern France, during the Second World War.
Over 6, 050 infantry, made up predominately of Canadian troops, as well as British Special Service troops, a detachment of a US Rangers and a small contingent of Fighting French took part.
They were supported by a regiment of tanks and were put ashore from a naval force operating under protection of Royal Air Force (RAF) fighters.
Picture shows: Two troops holding the Union Jack flag which fluttered on the cliffs of Dieppe throughout the commando raid. It was planted there by one of the first parties to land and was left there as a beacon to guide the parties of raiders that followed and to guide all the troops to their ships on their return.
August 1942
