Summary:"Although few were aware of it, they were ensuring the end of fascism's rule over millions of people and of its dream of world domination," [Ray Hnatyshyn] told about 40 Metro-area Dieppe veterans this morning at a wreath-laying at the Cenotaph in front of Old City Hall. "The sacrifices Dieppe demanded were not in vain," Hnatyshyn said. "Not only were thousands of other lives, including those of Canadians, saved two years later at Normandy, but the victory of May, 1945, can truly be said to have been written in the sands of Dieppe in August, 1942." [Roger Guyaud] was a 17-year-old private in the Royal Canadian Engineers, one of the Allied force who sailed from the British ports of Portsmouth and Newshaven in assault ships for [Dieppe] the night of Aug. 18, 1942.
