This day in Canadian Military History - 

19 August 1942
Battle of Dieppe. The raid on the French port by the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division is a disaster from the beginning, with tanks getting stuck on the pebbled beach and the infantry being pinned down along the seawall of the resort town. Of the 4963 Canadians who go ashore today, 2211 return to Britain after the assault is called off. The rest are either killed or marched off into prisoner-of-war camps.

Vernon's main parade square was built in the mid 1950s and was named Dieppe Square in honour of those men of Aug 19, 1942.
