The Dieppe raid is a major event in Canadian history that caused many fatalities, it took place on August 19,1942 in the French port of Dieppe. The Canadian Army were a great part of this event, one of the reasons being because at the time they hadn’t had enough involvement in the war, they had been training for two years since the start of the war and they were hungry for real combat, they were also publicly being pressured since they had minimum involvement in the war.

At daybreak, August 19th, 1942, the Allies began their raid on the French coastal city of Dieppe occupied by Germany. The raid has extreme Canadian significance, as it pertains to 5000 Canadians involved in the campaign, 3,350 of which became casualties and 916 died on the bloodstained beach at Dieppe. The Dieppe raid is widely considered a failure on every level and has left a dreadful mark in Canadian military history because of how poorly it panned out. Operation Jubilee remains one of the

English Narrative: John Williams’ Religious Account of the Deerfield Raid Reverend John Williams’ narrative on the Deerfield raid (1704) is an informative account on what this experience entailed for him; although, while one may think that his narrative would be mostly focused on the actual raid and what occurred to him as a captive, the primary focus of Williams’ narrative was largely based on his views on Catholicism and his extreme hatred for this religion (pg. 91).

Raleigh (excitedly): "I say Stanhope's told me about the raid". This suggests that Raleigh had a set picture of war (go and kill the enemy and be a hero), but he didn't know the reality of it (death). In the text, we see a quiet hero shown in Osborne.
