The Dieppe Raid, also known as the Battle of Dieppe, Operation Rutter during planning stages, and by its final official code-name Operation Jubilee, was an Allied attack on the German-occupied port of Dieppe during the Second World War. The raid took place on the northern coast of France on 19 August 1942. The assault began at 5:00 a.m., and by 10:50 a.m. the Allied commanders were forced to call a retreat. Over 6,000 infantrymen, predominantly Canadian, were supported by The Calgary Regiment of the 1st Canadian Tank Brigade and a strong force of Royal Navy and smaller Royal Air Force landing contingents. It involved 5,000 Canadians, 1,000 British troops, and 50 United States Army Rangers. Of the 6,086 men who made it ashore, 3,367 (almost 60%) were either killed, wounded or captured.

Landing Craft Tank
Early in the morning of 19 August 1942 a flotilla of ten Landing Craft Tank (LCT) turned towards the French coast at Dieppe. These craft were 139 feet long and were specially designed and built to carry the invasion forces back to France. This was their first excursion. Manned by a royal Navy crew of 12, each was capable of carrying three or four heavy tanks and their crews. The ships were armed with two 20mm anti-aircraft guns. Of the ten ships five would be lost to enemy fire.
On board were the Churchill tanks of the 14th Canadian Tank Regiment (The Calgary Regiment). This was also their first excursion. The Churchill had never been committed to action. Each 40 ton battle tank was manned by a crew of five. The majority of the tanks were the newer Mark III, armed with a 6 pdr. cannon and Besa machine gun in the hull. Seven of them were towing scout cars and three were towing OKE flamethrower tanks. All tanks landed were lost but one was penetrated by enemy shellfire.
