Bloody hell Alf, I suppose in one respect your dad was fortunate, he actually survived the fiasco. My dad was involved in a couple of dodgy situations, nothing like Dieppe though, but I could never get him to open up about it, I found out more after he'd died by searching a RN website on the internet than he ever told me. Did your Dad ever say much about it ?
