Texte de la plaque

Raid de Dieppe

L’opération Jubilee a été lancée le 19 août 1942. Cette opération a été la plus meurtrière pour le Canada. 6100 hommes dont 5000 Canadiens ont participé au Raid de Dieppe.

Au total, 916 Canadiens sont morts en plus des milliers de blessés et de prisonniers.

Ce raid fut un moment déterminant de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Malgré l’échec, les forces alliées en ont tiré des leçons inestimables pour le succès du Jour J en 1944.

La ville de Montréal rend hommage à tous les Canadiens ayant participé au Raid de Dieppe en leur dédiant cet espace du parc de la Cité du Havre afin qu’ils ne tombent jamais
dans l’oubli.

Cette plaque a été dévoilée le 10 août 2017 par l’honorable Denis Coderre, maire de Montreal, à l’occasion du 75 ième anniversaire du raid de Dieppe
